Reported risk: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 6.6L AND 7.8L ENGINES. DIESEL ENGINE GOVERNOR ASSEMBLIES MAY HAVE LEVER RETAINING RINGS INSTALLED IN A REVERSED POSITION. AS A RESULT, ONE OR MORE OF THREE RETAINING PRONGS MAY NOT BE ENGAGED IN THE GOVERNOR LEVER PIVOT SHAFTS.AN UNENGAGED RETAINING RING COULD POTENTIALLY DETACH, CAUSING SEPARATION OF THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE AND RETURN SPRINGS. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO RETURN TO IDLE FROM AN OPEN POSITION WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: REPLACE GOVERNOR LEVER ASSEMBLY.
