The problem

The components within the right-hand switch assembly may generate heat, which is conducted by the metal throttle guide tubes, sufficient to melt the interliner between the cable housing and the throttle cable, thus restricting the movement of the throttle cable.

The risk

Restriction of the throttle cable movement may cause thethrottle to bind, which may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.

The fix

REPAIR THE THROTTLE CABLE.
