Defect
In the electronically controlled accelerator pedal unit, a plate within the mechanism that reduces pedal return force after depression may have been improperly assembled. Continued use causes the plate to wear, increasing friction and making the accelerator pedal slow to return. In the worst case, the pedal may fail to return at all.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the manufacturing number (0327A) of the unit. On affected units, replace the accelerator pedal unit with a conforming part.
