The problem
The throttle cable can become disengaged from the retaining bracket.
The risk
The disengaged throttle cable can interfere with thethrottle cam mechanism, resulting in the throttle sticking in either the openposition or closed position. When the throttle sticks in the open position,unwanted vehicle acceleration will occur which may cause an accident.
The fix
Inspect throttle cables to ensure the throttle control cable is fully seated in the retaining bracket and install a cable tie strap to secure the cable in its correct seat.
