Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

The defect: SNAP PIN COULD INTERFERE WITH THE THROTTLE MECHANISM. IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS HEAVILY DEPRESSED, THE THROTTLE COULD BECOME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. NORMALLY, WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED, THROTTLE CLOSES AND VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES.
The remedy: METAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CHOKE HOUSING COVER TO PROVIDE CLEARANCE FOR THE THROTTLE LEVER ASSEMBLY. IN ADDITION, THE CLEVIS SNAP PIN WILL BE REPOSITIONED AND A RECALL IDENTIFICATION STICKER WILL BE INSTALLED IF FOUND NECESSARY.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Safety investigations

NHTSA inquiries naming this vehicle. An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and it is not a recall.
