The defect

THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHEN DEPRESSED, CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE HEAD OF A BOLT SECURING THE TRANSMISSION COVER TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE THROTTLE MAY NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION.

THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

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.
