Defect
On the fuel-air mixer that supplies the engine, some shaft bearing sections—which transmit throttle position to the automatic transmission—were machined incorrectly. Repeated accelerator pedal operation causes wear in the bearing that retains the shaft and, in the worst case, the mixer throttle may fail to return to the closed position.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the mixer with the corrected part.
