Certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by Williams's controls industries. The weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate. If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace these pedals.
