Details

What's wrong: There is a possibility that the plastic pad embedded into the floor carpet may interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal.

Why it matters: The accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than return to the idle position. A stuck accelerator pedal may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will modify the plastic pad on the floor carpet free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.
