| Dates of Manufacture: |
Defect: On certain medium duty trucks, fire trucks, transit buses, and school buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by Williams Controls Industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate. If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace these pedals. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification will begin during January 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
