Ancient recall. Probably not honored any more. Besides, the part is cheap.
Only if it disintegrated and let the TV cable fall out of the throttle lever. Then your gas pedal would be REALLY easy to push, it would never shift out of first gear, and the transmission would burn up within a few miles.
After 16 years of underhood heat, plastic parts (actually nylon, I think) do tend to fall apart.
Here's where it's supposed to be (under the throttle body, passenger side):
