Details
What's wrong: Interference occur between bolt that secures a fuel line shield to the lower portion of the dash panel and the accelerator pedal.
Why it matters: This could cause the accelerator pedal to stick at the wide open throttle position and result in loss of control with the risk of a vehicle accident.
The fix: Cut off extra length of bolt that protrudes above surface of weld nut to prevent interference.
