The problem
The throttle linkage may bind because during normal operation, the throttle body case may interfere with the linkage. This interference could prevent the throttle from closing even though the driver has removed his foot from the accelerator pedal.
The fix
The dealer will inspect vehicles and improve the clearance between the accelerator linkage and throttle body casing if needed, at no charge to owner.
