The short answer

NHTSA received INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AND ENGINE’s report on Dec 3, 1993. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

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

What’s wrong with it?

SHOULD THE ACCELERATOR ROD AND HAND THROTTLE CABLE BINDIN PARTIAL OR FULL THROTTLE POSITION, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD OCCUR,RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE HAND THROTTLE CABLE MAY BE MIS-ALIGNED WITH THE ACCELERATOR ROD CAUSING THE HAND THROTTLE CABLE TO “SAW” INTO THE ACCELERATOR ROD.

THIS CAN CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR AND HAND THROTTLE CABLE TO BIND IN A PARTIAL OR FULL THROTTLE POSITION.

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.
