What is being recalled

THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO FMVSS NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS." AT LOW TEMPERATURES, EXCESSIVE FRICTION CAN OCCUR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY.

Why it is dangerous

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE OF THE TROTTLE RETURN SPRING, IF THERE IS EXCESSIVE FRICTION IN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, THE ENGINE SPEED MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 95V-082 when calling a dealer.
