The mechanical springs used to return the accelerator pedal to idle after the driver lifts their foot off the pedal may break. |

Consequence:
If the springs break, the pedal may not return to idle once the driver lifts their foot off the pedal. This unintended acceleration increases the risk of a crash. |
