What is wrong
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE ACCELERATOR CABLE MAY HAVE AN OVERLY LONG PLASTIC SLEEVE AT ITS CARBURETOR END. THIS COULD ALLOW THE SLEEVE TO BECOME STUCK IN THE END-FITTING WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK IN THE OPEN POSITION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL AN ACCELERATOR CABLE OF THE PROPER LENGTH, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
