NEW FLYER OF AMERICA, INC. recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on May 16, 2002, covering about 1,107 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
Williams controls is handling the replacement of this pedal. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or new flyer at 204-982-8181.
