Defect Summary	Vehicle description: school buses equipped with the international i6 electronic engine and an extra thick bus body floor. the accelerator pedal to floor clearance is approximately 1.2 inches with a standard bus body floor. however, some customers ordered an additional 3/4 inch thick floor and extra thick floor mats to serve as insulation in cold climates. when this extra flooring is used, the bottom edge of the accelerator pedal, when depressed, can come in contact with the floor.
Consequence Summary	Should the accelerator pedal contact the floor, the pedal could get caught and not return to the idle position increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
Corrective Summary	Dealers will inspect the flooring on these buses to insure there is a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance. on buses with less than 1/4 inch clearance, the dealer will remove the pedal and cut off the bottom of the pad to obtain the proper clearance.
