Issue
On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal arm may fail. This would cause the throttle control to return to the idle position, causing a reduction in engine power and propulsive force. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assembly and adjust the foot well scuff plate. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013185 and 2013367. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaigns will also need to be repaired under this campaign.
