I know this has been discussed elsewhere but I took some pics of mine today to share with anyone interested.
I actually took my truck in for the noise heard when turning to the left (FYI, it's the treads of the Wranglers, catching on the front left wheel well liner and the liner was replaced), and they mentioned the recall and that they would address it. I knew about it, but didn't want it done, but it's fine now, "problem" solved. You will notice in the pics below that the original mats were NOT for a RAM Rebel. Why? Because the POS dealer I purchased the truck from, told me that the new RAM's came with no floor coverings, lol Yes, that's correct: no floor mats. I put up a stink and they gave me carpet mats. It was approaching winter, so the next day I bought a set of the rubber liners from this same dealership, "at cost." Not knowing what I don't know, I had no idea the Rebel mats had the red RAM logo, until you brilliant folks filled me in! Thank you!
Get this: I no longer visit that dealership where the truck was purchased, and when this recall happened, my new dealer (fantastic BTW) told me the bad news: because my truck originally was supposed to come with the red logo mats, that FCA will only send that same replacement mat for me, because the swap is VIN specific!!! WTF?!?! I wasn't happy but it wasn't their problem, nor were they the cause. So, I contacted the first dealership, and long story short, they ordered me a whole new set of mats, the CORRECT red logo Rebel mats. Now I need to get my original purchase refunded as I should not have paid for something that was supposed to come with the truck.....
Oh, and yes, they did grind the mat down and cut right through, LOL Yup....
