What is wrong
Vehicle description: super duty trucks and chassis-cabs equipped with 5.4l manual transmission powertrains. The accelerator cable core wire can wear the cable conduit end fitting due to a fifteen degree angle it makes with the conduit at the throttle body end. This could also lead to wear or separation of strands of the core wire, which could prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position.
The risk
A "stuck" throttle could adversely affect vehicle control.
The fix
Dealers will replace the accelerator cable and throttle body.
