| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Report received | April 4, 1996 |
| Owner notification | April 11, 1996 |
| Initiated by | Manufacturer |
Defect
These vehicles were assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat which could bind the throttle. This does not meet with the maximum return times required by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
Safety risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, cut out a portion of the dash mat to provide proper clearance.
Notes
System: fuel; throttle linkages and control; FMVSS no. 124. Vehicle description: pickup trucks, cab/chassis, utility and multi-purpose trucks equipped with gasoline engines. Note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.
