| Description of the problem | A used throttle body assembly was sent to odi from an anonymous source (a concerned citizen). The shaft that controls the throttle blade, situated within the throttle body housing, has a crack on the engine (downwind) side of the valve. The crack runs along the long axis of the shaft. A letter supplied with the component claims there are hundreds of similarly affected components on nissan and toyota products currently in use, and that a failure of the shaft can result in unwanted acceleration.
