Hazard

Fluid was inadvertently trapped in the throttle body unit during the manufacturing process. The trapped fluid may corrode sensors within the throttle body which may result in unexpected deceleration and / or high RPMs at engine start. If the unexpected high RPMs occur when the engine is in gear, a risk of collision and resulting personal injury exists.
