- Fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1985 - 01/31/1986
- Affected:
- 10,002
- Defect:
- The fuel injection pump throttle shaft bushing may be contaminated with a heat sensitive liquid polymer which can solidify on the bushing at normal engine operating temperature and cause the throttle to stick. consequence of defect: throttle lever may stick and not return to low idle position after accelerator pedal is released. this could result in loss of vehicle control and lead to a vehicle crash without prior warning.
- Correction:
- Replace fuel injection pump governor housing with a new housing containing new bushings free of contamination.
