On certain 325IX vehicles, the oil dipstick tube attaching bracket may have been bent during the manufacturing process or during scheduled maintenance. This could possibly cause the dipstick to interfere with the throttle bellcrank lever's range of motion and prevent the lever from returning to the idle position after release of the accelerator pedal. Correction: Throttle bellcrank lever will be modified to provide sufficient clearance. Note: Vehicles with manual transmission only.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1988049.
