  1. Vehicle speed control

    NHTSA 94V136000 Reported 7,350 vehicles potentially affected BLUE BIRD BODY COMPANY

    The hand throttle cable passes through the accelerator rod assembly at an angle that wears a groove in the rod, which is located under the accelerator pedal. The cable can become wedged in the groove worn into the rod and cause the accelerator to stick in an open position.

    Remedy: Dealers will install a positioning bracket for routing the hand throttle cable through the accelerator rod assembly.

    Model years: 1991

  2. Vehicle speed control

    NHTSA 94V032000 Reported 39,777 vehicles potentially affected MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED

    Fuel injection system reconfiguration to comply with engine emission standards cause higher engine vibration levels which lead to early wear and complete failure of the secondary throttle return mechanism.

    Remedy: A new production secondary throttle return system configuration will be installed.

    Model years: 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992

  3. Linkages (visibility)

    NHTSA 90V051000 Reported 2,350 vehicles potentially affected MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED

    A tolerance mismatch in the crank assembly of the bosch windshield wiper motor could cause instantaneous separation of the crank from the linkage assembly in the left hand control arm assembly; this would make the system inoperable.

    Remedy: Replace left hand control arm linkage assembly.

    Model years: 1989
