Defect
On certain MINI vans, freezing conditions can cause water on the throttle cable to freeze during normal operation. Resistance to movement of the throttle cable can occur when the driver lifts their foot off of the gas pedal.
Safety risk
This can cause the cable to stick, thus preventing the engine from returning to idle and causing the vehicle to maintain speed or accelerate. Such an event can occur without warning and could cause a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will modify a protective sleeve around the throttle cable. The recall began on august 15, 2005. Owners may contact KIA at 1-800-333-4542.
