## What is wrong

THE MATERIAL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD IS BRITTLE AND MAY RESULT IN A FATIGUE FAILURE FROM TORSIONAL STRESS.  SHOULD THE ACCELERATOR ROD BREAK, THE ENGINE WOULD RETURN TO IDLE.  THIS COULD RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO  PROPERLY ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

CORRECTION: THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR RODS ON THESE VEHICLES WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEW RODS.
