THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS. THE TOOL USED TO FORM THE ENDS ON THE SPRING MAY HAVE LEFT A MARK IN THE SPRING CREATING A STRESS CONDITION WHICH MAY CAUSE THE END OF THE SPRING TO FATIGUE RAPIDLY. SHOULD BOTH THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS FAIL, IT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. rnCORRECTION: THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
