What is wrong
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD AND THE THROTTLE LINKAGE COULD DAMAGE THE LINKAGE AND PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE POSITION. THIS CONDITION IS DUE TO INSTALLATION OF THE INCORRECT HOOD STYLE DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE FOUND TO HAVE THE INCORRECT HOOD, THE CUT OUT AREA BENEATH THE TURBO SCOOP WILL BE ENLARGED. NEWLY EXPOSED METAL WILL BE PAINTED.

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.
