Support Bracket for the New Throttle Pedal Assembly

A new type of throttle pedal needs an additional support bracket. The support bracket is installed in Production on vehicles after the VINs given. Before you install a new-type throttle pedal on a vehicle before the VINs given, you must bond a support bracket to the body extrusion. If you install a new-type throttle pedal on an earlier vehicle, you must do the Workshop Procedure that follows also to install a support bracket. Amended to show new kit of parts needed.
