## What is wrong

ON VEHICLES WITH 4 CYLINDER ENGINES, WATER MAY FREEZE IN THE ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE CONDUIT DURING COLD WEATHER. THIS WOULD CAUSE HIGH ACCELERATOR PEDAL EFFORT OR CABLE BINDING WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN THE THROTTLE NOT RETURNING TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.

CORRECTION: ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
