Consequence

IF THE POTENTIOMETER SHAFT IS BROKEN, THE DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE PRIMARY GAS AND BRAKE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy

EMC WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THE ELECTRONIC GAS AND BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH A LARGER POTENTIOMETER SHAFT AND ADD AN ADDITIONAL BEARING FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 5, 2002.
