Defect
On LPG bulk tanker vehicles equipped with an accelerator interlock device, the roller on the accelerator lock solenoid lever is too short. If the accelerator pedal is depressed at a lateral angle, the pedal may slide under the roller and become trapped. When this occurs, the accelerator pedal cannot return to its rest position, and engine speed will not decrease even after the driver's foot is removed from the pedal.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected lever with a corrected part.
