What is wrong
THE DEFECT IS IN THE ENGINE ACCELERATOR SYSTEM. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY NOT ALIGN WITH THE CENTER OF THE FLOOR MOUNTED PEDAL STOP BRACKET. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE PEDAL, WHEN DEPRESSED, TO SLIP OFF AND TO THE SIDE OF THE PEDAL STOP, HOLDING THE ACCELERATOR IN THE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL ALIGN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE CENTER OF THE STOP BRACKET FREE OF CHARGE.

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.
