Details

On certain vehicles, in hot ambient conditions, the accelerator pedal arm may stick at the attachment to the bracket and not return to the engine idle position when the operator removes the actuating force from the accelerator pedal.

If the accelerator pedal does not return to the engine idle position, the throttle valve will not close, which may result in an increased stopping distance.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal arm and, if necessary, replace the accelerator and brake pedal assembly.
