## What is wrong

On certain 325IX vehicles, the oil dipstick tube attaching bracket may have been bent during the manufacturing process or during scheduled maintenance.  This could possibly cause the dipstick to interfere with the throttle bellcrank lever's range of motion and prevent the lever from returning to the idle position after release of the accelerator pedal.  Correction: Throttle bellcrank lever will be modified to provide sufficient clearance.  Note: Vehicles with manual transmission only.
