DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Posted on: 2002-09-23
Description
On certain motor homes and fire trucks 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.
