CONSUMER WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE (01V037000) FOR THE THROTTLE STICKING ON THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER MADE AN APPOINTMENT UNDER THE ASSURANCE THE PARTS WOULD BE IN. THEY WERE NOT IN SO THEY WERE ORDERED.

CONSUMER BROUGHT VEHICLE BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THE THROTTLE ROD WAS BAD AND WOULD COST FOR REPLACEMENT.
