Summary
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain Mopar All-Weather Floor Mat Kits (Crew – Big/Horn/Laramie, and Crew – Laramie with product numbers 82215320AB, 82215320AC, 82215321AB, 82215321AC, 82215322AB, 82215323AB, 82215322AC, 82215323AC, 82215421AB, 82215421AC, 82215422AB, and 82215422AC) sold as accessory equipment in 2018, 2019 and 2020 for use in 2019-2020 Ram 1500 vehicles with adjustable pedals. In certain accelerator pedal positions, the floormats may prevent the pedal from returning to the normal resting (idle) position.
Remedy
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to remove some material from the driver floor mats to mitigate the potential for interference with the accelerator pedal on all affected vehicles. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2020.
Customers of modified driver’s side floor mats will be included in a future Customer Satisfaction Notification campaign and will be notified when the replacement floor mat becomes available to have the driver’s side modified floor mat replaced.
Customers may have purchased the above Mopar Floor Mat Kits intended for the 2019 – 2020 (DT) Ram 1500 Pickup. The driver’s side all-weather floor mat may in certain circumstances, interfere with the raised feature on an all-weather floor mat, possibly inhibiting the accelerator pedal from promptly repositioning to a lesser depressed position after the driver releases pressure on the accelerator pedal. If the accelerator pedal interferes with the mat, the vehicle may not decelerate as expected when the driver releases the accelerator pedal, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. By continued braking, however, the driver can activate brake-throttle override to close the throttle and bring the vehicle to a safe stop.
