What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with caterpillar 3116 mechanically unit injected diesel engines.

This rivet can loosen and then wear resulting in engine speed instability.

Possible consequence

If not identified and corrected, engine speed control could be lost due to rivet disengagement.
