What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

POSSIBILITY THAT A NEW THROTTLE ROD END WAS INCORPORATED IN THE THROTTLE MECHANISM DURING MANUFACTURING. THIS THROTTLE END USES A NYLON BEARING MATERIAL. THIS BEARING MAY DETERIORATE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS RESTRICTING THROTTLE ROD MOVEMENT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE RESTRICTING OF THROTTLE ROD MOVEMENT CAUSES A LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL ALINABAL PARTS WILL BE MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY TRUCKS, LOW CAB FORWARD, MANUFACTURED BY KENWORTHMEXICANA. SYSTEM: THROTTLE ROD.

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.
