Vehicle speed control

What is wrong
The hand throttle cable may be mis-aligned with the accelerator rod causing the hand throttle cable to "saw" into the accelerator rod. This can cause the accelerator and hand throttle cable to bind in a partial or full throttle position.
Risk
Should the accelerator rod and hand throttle cable bindin partial or full throttle position, loss of vehicle control could occur,resulting in an accident.
Remedy
Amtran dealers will replace the present accelerator rod with a new accelerator rod with a hardened end. Owners are advised to disconnect the hand throttle until a new accelerator rod is available.
