Accelerator Pedal may be Trapped by Floor Mat

If the floor mat prevents the accelerator pedal from returning to idle, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

 

Summary

ChryslereBay (FCAeBay US LLC) is recalling certain MopareBay Floor Mats, part numbers 6ML07TRMAA and 6GA92TRMAA, sold as accessory equipment for 2018 JeepeBay Grand Cherokee Street and Racing Technology (“SRT”) and Trackhawk vehicles. These floor mats may have insufficient clearance between the mat and the accelerator pedal, possibly inhibiting the pedal from returning to an idle position.

 

Remedy

ChryslereBay will notify owners, and dealers will replace any of the affected floor mats, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2018. Owners may contact ChryslereBay customer service at 1-800-853-1403. ChryslereBay’s number for this recall is UB5.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

 


Revised February 2019

Dealer Service Instructions for:

Safety Recall UB5 / NHTSA 18E-097 Driver Floor Mat

 

NOTE: Revised Step 2 to remove the generic TRM and add all affected part numbers.  Removed inspect LOP.  

 

Subject

Some of the driver floor mats manufactured and sold as aftermarket equipment for use in Market Vehicles may exhibit an unacceptable amount of clearance between the mat and the accelerator pedal, when installed in a Market Vehicle.  A driver floor mat without an acceptable amount of clearance to the accelerator pedal may prevent the accelerator pedal from returning towards an idle state when the driver removes pressure on the pedal, causing more engine power to be requested than intended. Unintended engine power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. If these floor mats are installed in the vehicles they were sold for, 2018 JeepeBay Grand Cherokee SRT or Trackhawk vehicles, this condition may be mitigated with the brake-throttle override function: if the accelerator pedal is held in a fixed position for a certain amount of time, and then the brakes are applied, the engine will disregard the continued accelerator pedal request and the engine will return to idle, despite the position of the accelerator pedal.

 

Repair

Inspect the driverโ€™s floor mat part number and replace the mat if it is the defective part.

These floor mats are sold as kits, but only the driverโ€™s side floor mat will be replaced.  Customer must bring the driver floor mat to your dealership for inspection and replacement.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

Driver Floor Mat

 

Dear [Name],

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. 

FCAeBay has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain aftermarket MopareBay Floor Mat Kits. Floor Mat Kit Part Number: 6ML07TRMAA or 6GA92TRMAA.

It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.

 

WHY DOES MY ITEM OF EQUIPMENT NEED REPAIRS?

FCAeBay records indicate that you may have purchased an aftermarket MopareBay Floor Mat kit for your vehicle [1]. Some of the driver floor mats manufactured and sold as aftermarket equipment for use in Market Vehicles may exhibit an unacceptable amount of clearance between the mat and the accelerator pedal, when installed in a Market Vehicle.  A driver floor mat without an acceptable amount of clearance to the accelerator pedal may prevent the accelerator pedal from returning towards an idle state when the driver removes pressure on the pedal, causing more engine power to be requested than intended. Unintended engine power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. If these floor mats are installed in the vehicles they were sold for, 2018 JeepeBay Grand Cherokee SRT or Trackhawk vehicles, this condition may be mitigated with the brake-throttle override function: if the accelerator pedal is held in a fixed position for a certain amount of time, and then the brakes are applied, the engine will disregard the continued accelerator pedal request and the engine will return to idle, despite the position of the accelerator pedal.

 

HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?

FCAeBay will repair your floor mat [2] free of charge (parts and labor).  To do this, your dealer will inspect the driverโ€™s floor mat part number and replace the mat if it is the defective part.  These floor mats are sold as kits under the part numbers listed above, but only the driverโ€™s side floor mat will be replaced.  Be sure to bring the driver floor mat with this letter to your dealership.  In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit.  Your time is important to us; please be aware that these steps may require more time.  The estimated repair time is ยฝ hour.  We recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience.

 

Please remove the current driver floor mat until you get your mat replaced.

CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
