Recall 02V-004: 2001 Neoplan AN460
NEOPLAN USA CORP. recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Apr 9, 2002, covering about 6 vehicles.
The problem
On certain 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 during december 2001. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or neoplan at 1-719-336-3256.
