ON BUSES BUILT WITH AN EXTRA THICK FLOOR, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHEN DEPRESSED, COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH A HEAD OF A BOLT SECURING THE TRANSMISSION COVER TO THE FLOOR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO STICK AND NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION WHEN RELEASED RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH.rnCORRECTION: ON BUSES WITH LESS THAN 1/4 INCH CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE BOLT HEAD ON THE FLOOR, DEALERS WILL REMOVE 1/2 INCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
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 1994120.
