The problem
These vehicles fail to conform to FMVSS no. 124, "accelerator control systems." at low temperatures, excessive friction can occur in the accelerator pedal assembly.
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: in the event of a failure of the trottle return spring, if there is excessive friction in the pedal assembly, the engine speed May not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
