The problem
Bosch distributor-type fuel pumps have a manufacturing defect that can cause the ball pin, which is part of the pump's control lever assembly, to break causing the link between the control sleeve and the control lever to become inoperative.
The risk
When the link between the control lever and the controlsleeve breaks, the speed control no longer responds to movement of theaccelerator pedal, resulting in loss of speed control and a possible accident.
The fix
The fuel pumps will be inspected, and if necessary, repaired or replaced.
