Floor Mat Recall

[VaderRebel]

Just got my letter, crumpled it into a ball and sunk a 3 pointer from across the garage into the garbage can. Handled!

would appreciate if someone that had the mat cut, post a pic of the mat as well as a pic in the vehicle to show the actual mod...

Guys, look through the earlier pages of this thread and you'll find these pics below...

Took mine in to have the door panel replaced on the drivers side rear door, the factory put the wrong trim on it. They said they took care of the floor mat recall while it was there. As far as I can tell they did absolutely nothing to the mat, it looks exactly the same as it did before and the service manager said he knew nothing about the mats being replaced. The paperwork just said it was inspected and showed .2 hours labor.

What's the build date of your truck? Some of the more recent 2020's have the new mats installed already. You can easily tell if you have one or not by comparing yours with these (posted by another member), or by the part numbers...

appreciate the info ... thx
confirmed...l do have the mat to the left that needs updating...
but, based on the pic of the mod the dealership did... how does cutting the ribs on the affected mats stop the pedal issue... the ribs are no were near the pedal to cause any issues ... l must be missing something....

In looking at your mat, it looks like you have the updated version. Even though your part number ends in AB. It definitely looks like the one on the right though. No modification required. Lucky you.

I found the same thing with my truck. I couldn't get my gas pedal anywhere even close to those ribs, no matter where I adjusted the pedals to. But apparently some people have had it happen. My daughter has a 2019 Rebel, and she said hers has done it a couple of times. But she has enough sense to just step on the brake when that happens, which overrides the throttle after a short delay. The funny thing is she hasn't gotten a recall notice yet. I got my recall notice for my 2020 a couple weeks ago. And I got another one last Friday. Weird.

l can only see this happening if the mat is not snapped in place and allowed to slide up to where this occurs or placed on top of the carpeted mat where this will occur as well....my all weather mat is secure in place and has not moved at all in 6 months of ownership ...

My pedals are nowhere near my all weather mats.... I payed extra for those and I'll be damned if I let dealer cut them up...

Just got a call from my local dealership that my replacement mat is in. When I took the truck in for an oil change a few weeks back I made sure to take my slush mat out so they didn't hack it up. What sucks is that this should be a quick in-and-out, but they are treating it like any service visit and told me that I'd have to leave the truck with them and get either a shuttle ride or a rental if available (since it's technically a recall). I'd much rather just grab the mat from the parts department and install it myself in a couple of minutes max. But I guess the dealership has got to eat! SMH

I don't think I'd stand for that.

Dealer did the floor mat recall on mine today without me asking. The new floor mat is IDENTICAL in every way to the one that came with my truck from the factory in November 2019. I'm confused. Lol. But I guess now I have two driver side floor liners I can use.

 

[moparleo51]

got a call yesterday, my new mat is in . i went to the dealer and they ordered the wrong one,SMH, but its not as easy as swap out . they have to put it into the system and then code it and then send a copy of the recall over to the parts department ,then they have to there paper work and then back to service where they finish up all the needed info on the swap. so after all that the mat was the incorrect one as it was suppose to be the one with the red ram logo. i asked don't you replace the whole set? he said no just the driver side. he noted at first that some dealers did replace the complete set in the beginning because they didn't know what to do. oh and you must bring in your recalled mat.

Leave your mat at home! This works well for me! Nobody is cutting my mat.

I took mine in for the annual state inspection and an oil change on Friday. The service manager mentioned the floor mat recall and said they had new ones in stock. They switched it, and I was out of there in about an hour with everything done.

That's ridiculous.

79 300, love your avatar, i had a 79 chrysler 300(cordoba ) back in the day ,it was my first purchase on my own as an adult.

Question: for any of you who had the recall done, how does the new mat compare to the old mat in terms of how it feels when you are driving? I'm not sure where my foot falls on the floor mat so I don't know if those missing ribs will feel different to me or not.

I have owned mine since 1992. Before that my dad owned it. It only has 40000 miles on it.

I thought that too, so I called today and cancelled my appointment. I'll just roll the dice and wait until my next oil change. I sure hope my truck doesn't run full speed out of control into a brick wall between now and then! ;-)

It's simple, just avoid any roads with brick walls in them.
