Unlikely to need to be replaced. It is relatively common, and usually comes down to grease, adjusting one or more of the springs or rods (depending on how exactly it works on your machine), and cleaning dirt and gunk that may be stopping it freely returning.
On my old BX I consistently had this problem, I could get it close to reliable, but it always stuck a bit. On the BX there was a spring to return it, and also a rod to take the motion from the pedal to the HST transmission, the spring could get loose or stretch, the rod could get dirty, there was a zerk to grease the assembly and a lot of places gunk could build up around the pivot point.

There's a 2-way hydraulic "damper" (like on a screen door) in the linkage, part 110, that assists in centering the drive pedal back to the neutral position. They get worn and lazy and can be easily replaced. But first check that there isn't some brush or cruft under there preventing smooth motion of the pedal.
