    Condensation on a worn part in the throttle pedal assembly may cause the accelerator pedal to return slowly or fail to return to idle. A steel reinforcing bar will be fitted to create clearance and strengthen the return spring.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
    Defect
    It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
    Remedy
    Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.
