2001 Chance RT-52 recalls
Recall 02V-004: Vehicle Speed Control
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.
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.
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.

Risk: Long-term wear can allow the power stud to short to ground through the transmission control cable, resulting in electrical arcing and the ignition of combustible materials in the junction box compartment.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine if either the power stud insulation boot and/or the transmission shift cable clamp is missing. Both the insulation boot and the clamp will be installed if missing. Owner notification is expected to begin during july 2002.
