On certain trucks with Cummins NH and K series engines - an interference may occur between the throttle lever stop pin and a rivet securing a side plate on the fuel pump housing - manufacturing assembly techniques may cause a stack-up and interfere by as much as .002" with the rivet. In come instances, the stop pin on the throttle lever can interfere with the rivets which retain the side cover plate on the fuel pump body. Depending on the orientation of the throttle lever, it is possible for the throttle to become impeded in any position. From idle to wide open throttle.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Western Star: 210 in the register, and 122 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1983.
