What is wrong
IN VERY COLD WEATHER, MOISTURE THAT ENTERS OR MAY BE PRESENT IN THE THROTTLE CABLE HOUSING MAY FREEZE, CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO STICK. INSUFFICIENT SLACK IN THE THROTTLE CABLE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MAY CAUSE THE CABLE TO BEND. THIS CAUSES THE THROTTLE TO REMAIN SLIGHTLY OPEN. VEHICLE SPEED WILL BE HARD TO CONTROL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL REPAIR THE THROTTLE LINKAGE AT NO COST 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.
