Defect
Vehicle description: school buses equipped with mechanical b5.9 front diesel engine school buses manufactured from june 26, 1995 through march 18, 1998. Due to the accelerator cable engine mount bracket having an incorrect bend angle, the accelerator cable has a compound bend radius which allows the inner cable to wear through outer cable sheath end fittings and possibly jam in the groove resulting from this wear.
Safety risk
The engine throttle may then fail to react to accelerator pedal movements.
Remedy
Owners will be provided with a corrective action kit. The following components will be replaced: (1) existing accelerator cable assembly; (2) engine end; cable clamping bracket, and (3) engine end; quick release ball socket.
