On certain vehicles the accelerator pedal movement may become rough, slow to return, or stick in a depressed position. This problem is caused by either wear or high humidity and could result in a loss of control leading to a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a steel reinforcement bar to the accelerator pedal assembly. With this reinforcement in place, the excess friction that can cause the pedal to stick is eliminated.
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 2010015.
