SOME OF THE VEHCILES AFFECTED BY THE RECALL MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH INCORRECT HOODS - THE INCORRECT HOODS WERE INTENDED FOR USE WITH CONVENTIONAL (NON-TURBO) ENGINES AND MAYNOT PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT CLEARNACE BETWEEN THE THROTTLE LINKAGE AND THE HOOD UNDERSIDES. AS A RESULT, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THE THROTTLE LINKAGE MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOOD POTENTIALLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LINKAGE AND PREVENTING THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO ITS IDLE POSITION.
