Defect

The shape of the accelerator cable end fitting and the material of its cover are inappropriate. The cover deteriorates over time and adheres to the inner cable. As a result, the inner cable can catch on the end fitting and, in the worst case, the engine may not return to idle even after the accelerator pedal is released.

Corrective action

Inspect the accelerator cable on all vehicles and replace the cover with the corrected part.
