The recalled accelerator return spring has a loop on both ends that slips through small holes. Over time and use the loops can develop a grove that gets bigger over time and can eventually snap. If that happens, the accelerator pedal can get stuck down causing a potentially dangerous situation. The new spring is more heavy duty and is bolted into place rather than the previous attachment design. The fix is very easy/simple and appears to be designed to withstand a lifetime of use.

My 2022 QT has 5,200 miles and the old spring that was replaced was just starting to develop a very small grove that wasn’t an issue yet, but might have become a problem over many many more miles.
