Vehicle speed control

Summary: On certain school and transit buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
Consequence: If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: International will retrofit vehicles with a new pedal rod and bracket. Owner notification began December 16, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
