If the cable is kinked, the core wires could eventually fray, with one strand at a time breaking.  This could increase the friction in the cable and may cause the throttle to be slow to return to idle when released.  A stuck throttle could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Dealers will install a new accelerator cable.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"00S56","part_number":null,"units":7881,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Moteur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules équipés du moteur de 3,0 litres, le câble d'accélérateur peut avoir été tordu lors du montage. Si c'est le cas, le fil de noyau peut éventuellement s'effilocher et se briser un toron à la fois, ce qui ferait augmenter le frottement à l'intérieur du câble et pourrait empêcher l'accélérateur de revenir normalement à la position de ralenti quand on cesse d'appuyer sur la pédale. Un accélérateur coincé peut faire augmenter les risques d'accident.
