Vehicle speed control: cables White Truck recall

The problem

An adapter may have been omitted between the accelerator pedal and the accelerator linkage. The absence of this adapter may cause the accelerator linkage to "hang up" on the cab floor board, preventing the engine from returning to idle.

The fix

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, relocate the accelerator pedal and install an adapter without charge to owner.
