What NHTSA recorded

The accelerator pedal rod in combination with the pedal installed on the involved vehicles may cut through the floor pan rubber mat or carpet into the thick resilient insulation pad underneath during heavy or repeated full throttle applications. As a result, the accelerator pedal rod may catch in the mat or carpet, preventing the throttle from returning to idle when the driver"s foot is removed from the pedal.

Remedy

Dealer will install a new accelerator pedal and retainer designed to prevent the accelerator pedal rod from cutting the rubber mat or carpet. This will be performed without charge.
