The hazard
On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal pivot bearing bushings may dislodge from the pedal bushing bearing pockets and cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick. Even though these vehicles are equipped with "Smart Brake technology", where the engine controller is designed to reduce engine power when a disagreement between the throttle and the brake exists, the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death still exist. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
