THE ENGINE MOUNTED ACCELERATOR RELAY SHAFT CAN BE CONTACTED BY THE CAB STRUCTURE DUE TO VARIATIONS IN THE CAB TO ENGINE RELATIONSHIP COMBINED WITH SUFFICIENT RELATIVE MOTION BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE CAB. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR TO BIND IN POSITION, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OVER VEHICLE SPEED.

The remedy

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.
