The problem
Due to the thickness of the carpet padding on the transmission tunnel, the space between the brake pedal and the transmission tunnel could catch a driver's right foot under the brake pedal.
The risk
This condition could inhibit a driver from applying the brakes, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will remove the carpet padding on the transmission tunnel adjacent to the accelerator pedal.
