What NHTSA recorded

Corrosion around the zinc-coated throttle control lever bushing can cause the throttle lever to bind.

Possible consequence

This binding can result in the throttle plate not returning to the closed position when the throttle pedal is released and a subsequent loss of throttle control.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the zinc-coated throttle control lever bushing with a nickel-coated bushing and bolt.
