Ford/Mustang 2003-2004
MANUFACTURER: Ford Motor Company
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V108000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: April 03, 2006
COMPONENT: Vehicle Speed Control: Accelerator Pedal
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 19140
SUMMARY:
On certain Mustang Cobra passenger vehicles, the rear surface of the accelerator pedal may come into contact with floor carpeting during heavy throttle
application. The unique surface profile of the accelerator pedal may catch in the cutout on the floor carpeting behind the accelerator pedal.
CONSEQUENCE:
This could interfere with the pedal's ability to return to an idle position. Unexpected, continued throttle application and/or increased stopping distances
may occur which could result in a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will install a shield over the cutout in the carpet behind the accelerator pedal. The recall is expected to begin on April 26, 2006. Owners may
contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
