2001 GILLIG LOW FLOOR 29' Recall

Campaign:
02V004004 on 04/17/2002
Component:
Vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal
Affected:
865
Defect:
On certain buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
Consequence:
If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace these pedals. owner notification began during december 2001. owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or gillig at 1-510-785-1500.
Notes:
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
