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.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"99S19","part_number":null,"units":17214,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Moteur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, lors de la fabrication, il se peut que l’on ait laissé une aspérité à l’intérieur de la gaine du câble d’accélérateur, sur le bout du câble ou à proximité. Cette aspérité peut effilocher le noyau du câble et empêcher l’accélérateur de revenir à la position de ralenti quand le conducteur cesse d’appuyer sur la pédale des gaz, ce qui risque de causer un accident.
