Accelerator Return Springs may Fail Prematurely
Description
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain models of accelerator pedals sold as aftermarket parts. These pedals are labeled with Gillig part number 51-19017-016 (Williams Controls part number 351298), Gillig part number 51-19017-019 (Williams Controls part number 351571) or Gillig part number 45-35027-000 (Williams Controls part number 351298). The mechanical springs used to return the accelerator pedal to idle after the driver lifts their foot off the pedal may break.
Injuries / Consequence
If the springs break, the pedal may not return to idle once the driver lifts their foot off the pedal. This unintended acceleration increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Gillig LLC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected pedals with entire pedal assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-785-1500.
