On certain B600, F600 and P800 vehicles, engine resonance can cause elevated stress conditions and a fatigue failure of the accelerator return springs. A failed return spring could result in the engine not fully returning to idle when the accelerator pedal is released. Correction: Accelerator return springs will be replaced with a torsion spring design.
A failure of this component (engine) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain B700, F700, F800, FT900, L8000, LA8000, LN7000, LN8000, LNT8000, LS8000, LT8000 and LTS8000, the Hand throttle cable may wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes. In some cases the wear may result in the cable jamming in the damaged swivel, which could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position. Correction: A revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel will be installed on affected vehicles.

IN ADDITION, SOME OF THESE VEHICLES MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURES OF A SNAP RING IN THE STEERING GEAR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROGRESSIVE REDUCTIONS IN RIGHT TURN MAXIMUM WHEEL TRAVEL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND STEERING GEAR WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY.

On certain B600 and B700 vehicles, the battery power junction block mounted on the right front fender apron might be susceptible to road splash and corrosion from calcium chloride and sodium chloride. This could result in eventual fracture of the main terminal or other terminals at the junction block causing the loss of vehicle power supply or loss of power to a particular system such as the engine, power steering or hydraulic brake boost. Correction: Dealers will replace the junction block, main power terminal from the starter or starter relay and terminals at the existing block. The hydraulic brake circuit will be modified by bypassing the junction block. New terminals will be made from an alloy material more resistant to salt corrosion.

IF BOTH SPRINGS WERE TO FRACTURE THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION AND MAY RESULT IN INCREASED ENGINE SPEED AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: THROTTLE RETURN CONTROL SYSTEM WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE COIL TORSION SPRING DESIGN.
