- Summary
- The wire end of the hand throttle cable passes through a split plastic grommet in the accelerator rod. This wire can work through the slot in the grommet and become lodged between the grommet and the edge of the hole in the accelerator rod.
- Consequence
- If the throttle wire becomes lodged, the accelerator can stick and not return to idle position potentially affecting the operator's ability to control the vehicle and increasing the potential for an accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will repair buses by installing a new cable grommet without a slot; install a new cable stop; and readjust the throttle cable.

Has your International been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A International dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
