  5. VANQUISH · possibility that throttle control may be lost

    19 Nov 2004 · R/2004/187

    The electronic throttle pedal assembly cross shaft can become displaced from its housing following involuntary displacement of an ultrasonically domed head (LHS end). This is designed to keep the cross shaft in place along with a secondary retaining cross pin at the opposite side of the housing. With the cross shaft displaced throttle control is lost. If ignored a failed cross shaft would lead to loss of throttle control whilst driving.

    Fix: Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the throttle assembly will be checked for compliance with specification. Should a non-compliance be identified the throttle pedal assembly will be replaced.
