The short answer

NHTSA received CHANCE COACH, INC.’s report on Mar 10, 1992. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 26, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN FOOT PRESSURE ISREMOVED FROM THE TREADLE; THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO LOSS OF SPEED CONTROLAND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.

THE FOOT TREADLE ACCELERATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A RETURN SPRING WHICH SERVES AS A BACKUP DEVICE FOR THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING MOUNTED ON THE ENGINE; SHOULD BOTH SPRINGS FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY THE ENGINE THROTTLE COULD BECOME STUCK OPEN.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
