    NHTSA 78V263000 Reported 13,298 vehicles potentially affected RENAULT USA, INCORPORATED

    The involved vehicles fail to comply to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". Due to gumming during ocean shipment, some throttles may fail to fully return to the idle position when the accelerator pedal is released. N or return within the required one second interval.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install an additional accelerator return spring to improve throttle control response.
