1996 AM GENERAL HUMMER Recalls (4)
- Campaign:
- 96V049000 on 03/11/1996
- Component:
- Vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1992 - 02/29/1996
- Affected:
- 3,000
- Defect:
- The coating used to protect the accelerator pedal shaft is incompatible with the bronze bushing through which the shaft passes. over time, and in the presence of a corrosive environment (water, road salt), the shaft can corrode inside the bushing increasing the amount of friction between the rotating shaft and the stationary bushing.
- Consequence:
- A corroded accelerator pedal shaft can cause the engine throttle to bind and not fully return to idle when the operator's foot is removed from the accelerator pedal increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a revised accelerator pedal and shaft assembly.
- Notes:
- System: fuel; throttle linkages and controls. vehicle description: multi-purpose passenger vehicles equipped with diesel or gasoline engines. turbo-charged diesel vehicles are not included. note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact am general at 1-219-258-6615. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
