Recall 02V-004: 2001–2002 Chance Opus 29, 2002 Chance Opus 34 and 1 more
CHANCE COACH, INC. recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Sep 10, 2002, covering about 137 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
Chance coach recommends that owners inspect their vehicles and install the part kit provided by chance coach. Owners who do not receive the free parts and instructions within a reasonable time should contact chance coach at 1-888-391-1777.
Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
