The problem
THESE BUSES WERE BUILT WITH AN ADDITIONAL 3/4 INCH THICK PLYWOOD FLOOR AND EXTRA THICK FLOOR MATS FOR INCREASED INSULATION DURING COLD WEATHER. THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHEN DEPRESSED, CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE HEAD OF A BOLT SECURING THE TRANSMISSION COVER TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE THROTTLE MAY NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION.
Risk
THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REMOVE 1/2 INCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
