Problem: The screws which attach the throttle plate to its axle (shaft) can loosen allowing the throttle plate to come in contact with the throttle housing.

Risk: This condition could prevent the throttle from returning to idle position increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Fix: Dealers will replace the throttle housing.
