Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: medium duty trucks, fire trucks, and transit buses and school buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries. The weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
- Risk
- If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace these pedals. Owner notification began march 18, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
