On certain trucks, the electronic accelerator pedal on these may experience premature failure of the pedal return springs. If both springs fail, the pedal will not return to the idle position when the pedal is released and an unintended full throttle condition could occur which in turn could result in a vehicle accident. Correction: Pedal will be modified or replaced as required.
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 1993031.
