    Fuel System, Gasoline / Fuel Injection System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The fuel injection pump throttle shaft bushing may be contaminated with a heat sensitive liquid polymer which can solidify on the bushing at normal engine operating temperature and cause the throttle to stick. Consequence of defect: throttle lever may stick and not return to low idle position after accelerator pedal is released. This could result in loss of vehicle control and lead to a vehicle crash without prior warning.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Replace fuel injection pump governor housing with a new housing containing new bushings free of contamination.
