## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the accelerator cable may have been manufactured with a burr on or near the end of the cable sleeve interior.  This burr could fray the core wire which in turn could cause the accelerator not to return to idle when the accelerator pedal is released.  This could result in a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Accelerator cable will be replaced with a revised version which has a flared conduit sleeve end  and molded\-on end fitting.
