What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor can result in an intermittent high idle condition with speeds higher than expected by the operator. This could result in loss of vehicle control. Correction: The engine controller software will be changed to correct for erroneous speed sensor signals.
