Recall 01V-322: 2000 Novabus RTS

The problem

Vehicle description: buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries. The weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.

The risk

If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace these pedals. Owner notification began november 15, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact novabus at 1-505-347-7349.
