On certain vehicles, the throttle could stick intermittently during operation. The exact point of sticking is not predictable and can result in a higher engine speed than expected. In the case where a throttle fails to return to idle, particularly after a high degree of engine throttle application, the driver will experience difficulty bringing the vehicle to rest. Correction: Dealer will inspect the manufacturing date of the throttle body of vehicles within the referent VIN range and replace those with a batch number between B5 and B11, inclusive. This recall is superseded by recall 2004148
