Vehicle Speed Control › Accelerator Pedal94V196000
Filed Oct 7, 19946,449 vehiclesInternational Truck And Engine
Defect. 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.
Risk. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF SPEED CONTROL, DRIVER DISTRACTION, AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy. 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.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
