What is wrong
Corrosion around the zinc-coated throttle control lever bushing can cause the throttle lever to bind.
The risk
This binding can result in the throttle plate not returning to the closed position when the throttle pedal is released and a subsequent loss of throttle control.
The fix
Dealers will replace the zinc-coated throttle control lever bushing with a nickel-coated bushing and bolt.
