The problem
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD AND THE THROTTLE LINKAGE COULD DAMAGE THE LINKAGE AND PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE POSITION. THIS CONDITION IS DUE TO INSTALLATION OF THE INCORRECT HOOD STYLE DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY.
What owners should do
FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE FOUND TO HAVE THE INCORRECT HOOD, THE CUT OUT AREA BENEATH THE TURBO SCOOP WILL BE ENLARGED. NEWLY EXPOSED METAL WILL BE PAINTED.
