DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL


Posted on: 2002-04-18
Description
On certain buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.

Consequence
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.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace these pedals.  Owner notification began during december 2001.  Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or gillig at 1-510-785-1500.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
