What is wrong
THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP THROTTLE SHAFT BUSHING MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH A HEAT SENSITIVE LIQUID POLYMER WHICH CAN SOLIDIFY ON THE BUSHING AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THROTTLE LEVER MAY STICK AND NOT RETURN TO LOW IDLE POSITION AFTER ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REPLACE FUEL INJECTION PUMP GOVERNOR HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING CONTAINING NEW BUSHINGS FREE OF CONTAMINATION.

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.
