The defect
ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES, TWO RETURN SPRINGS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COULD BOTH BREAK.
The risk
IF BOTH SPRINGS FAIL, THE PEDAL WILL NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

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.
