Blue Bird Recall 02V004005: Vehicle Speed Control, Accelerator Pedal

NHTSA recall 02V004005 · announced March 21, 2002 · filed by Blue Bird Body Company · 24 units affected

The problem

ON CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES/MOTOR HOMES 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. ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND CORRECTED.
