Reported risk: On certain vehicles equipped with 3.0 llitre engines, the accelerator cable may have been kinked during installation. If the cable is kinked, the core wires could eventually fray, with one strand at a time breaking. This could increase the friction in the cable and may cause the throttle to be slow to return to idle when released. A stuck throttle could increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install a new accelerator cable.
