Eldorado Recall 02V004003: Vehicle Speed Control, Accelerator Pedal

NHTSA recall 02V004003 · announced March 15, 2002 · filed by Eldorado National · 13 units affected

The problem

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.

The risk

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.

What to do

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE PEDALS. OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY WILL BE HANDLED BY WILLIAMS CONTROL. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT WILLIAMS CONTROL AT 1-503-684-8600 OR ELDORADO AT 1-909-628-5580.
