Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT CAN CORRODE INSIDE THE BUSHING THROUGH WHICH IT PASSES THEREBY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE ROTATING SHAFT AND THE STATIONARY BUSHING. THIS CAN CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO BIND AND NOT FULLY RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE OPERATOR'S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
TWO WELDS LOCATED ON THE BACK REST ADJUSTMENT SIDE OF THE SEAT FRAME MAY NOT MEET THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. IF THE WELDS WERE NOT TO SPECIFICATION, BACK REST LOADS COULD CAUSE THE WELDS TO FAIL. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BACK REST TO DISENGAGE FROM THE SEAT FRAME ALLOWING LOSS OF SUPPORT TO THE DRIVER'S TORSO AND POSSIBLY CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT SEATS AND REPLACE THE SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY.
