Issue
Improper casting of the throttle cable's inner wire during manufacturing damaged the cable's coating tube on some units. This damage allows rainwater and other moisture to enter the interior of the throttle cable. In the worst case, the infiltrated water may freeze, preventing throttle operation and causing engine speed to remain elevated.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the throttle cable with a non-defective unit.
