SHOULD THE ACCELERATOR ROD AND HAND THROTTLE CABLE BINDIN PARTIAL OR FULL THROTTLE POSITION, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD OCCUR,RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
NAVISTAR DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRESENT ACCELERATOR ROD WITH A NEW ACCELERATOR ROD WITH A HARDENED END. OWNERS ARE ADVISED TO DISCONNECT THE HAND THROTTLE UNTIL A NEW ACCELERATOR ROD IS AVAILABLE.
