What is being recalled
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SUPER DUTY TRUCKS AND CHASSIS-CABS EQUIPPED WITH 5.4L MANUAL TRANSMISSION POWERTRAINS. THE ACCELERATOR CABLE CORE WIRE CAN WEAR THE CABLE CONDUIT END FITTING DUE TO A FIFTEEN DEGREE ANGLE IT MAKES WITH THE CONDUIT AT THE THROTTLE BODY END. THIS COULD ALSO LEAD TO WEAR OR SEPARATION OF STRANDS OF THE CORE WIRE, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION.
Why it is dangerous
A "STUCK" THROTTLE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR CABLE AND THROTTLE BODY.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 99V-265 when calling a dealer.
