Vehicle safety recall details from the Department of Transportation.

Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 94V196000 by International Truck & Engine Corporation. Includes 6,449 affected units, FUEL:THROTTLE LINKAGES AND CONTROL:PEDAL, component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

The base of the electronic accelerator pedal is made of die cast aluminum. The base mounts directly to the cab firewall. The cab firewall is not rigid enough or flat enough at the mounting surface, causing stress on the accelerator base that will cause the mounting pads on the base of the pedal assembly to fail and totally separate from the firewall.

Corrective Action

Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal assembly and install a plate between the accelerator mounting base and the firewall on those units where the base is not broken and has no visible signs of a crack. If the base is broken or cracked, the accelerator assembly will be replaced with a new redesigned accelerator pedal assembly.
