Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal

What is wrong
On certain 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 and remedy will be handled by williams control. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1‑503‑684‑8600 or eldorado at 1‑909‑628‑5580.
