What is wrong
POSSIBILITY THAT A NEW THROTTLE ROD END WAS INCORPORATED IN THE THROTTLE MECHANISM DURING MANUFACTURING. THIS THROTTLE END USES A NYLON BEARING MATERIAL. THIS BEARING MAY DETERIORATE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS RESTRICTING THROTTLE ROD MOVEMENT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE RESTRICTING OF THROTTLE ROD MOVEMENT CAUSES A LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL ALINABAL PARTS WILL BE MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER.

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.
