What Happened
The accelerator pedal in your vehicle is a critical safety component that helps control your speed. In some replacement pedals, the rotating part could get stuck, making it hard to slow down or stop your car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pedal gets stuck, your engine may not return to idle quickly when you take your foot off the gas, which could cause your vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty pedal assembly with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
