Transport Canada lists: W 3500 2008–2009 · W 4500 2008–2009 · NPR Gas 2008–2009, 2012–2013 · NPR HD 2008–2009, 2012–2013
What is wrong
On certain vehicles with gasoline powered engines, the accelerator pedal could move laterally, allowing the accelerator pedal bracket to be hung up on the stopper bolt on the floor panel bracket. This would cause the accelerator pedal to remain in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
What the dealer will do
Dealers will remove and replace the stopper bolt with a flanged plate that will be bolted to the floor bracket to prevent lateral movement of the accelerator pedal. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 2016-545.
