Details
What's wrong: Throttle lever may contact throttle body air inlet tube, with the potential for throttle remaining open following release of the accelerator pedal from the full-throttle postion in trucks with 4.0 l engines.
Why it matters: Uncontrolled acceleration could create lack of controland cause an accident.
The fix: Manufacturer will replace air inlet tube with newly designed replacement with an increased throttle lever-to-inlet tube clearance.
