What Happened
The all-weather floor mat on the driver's side of your vehicle is designed to keep your feet dry and comfortable. However, in certain Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln models from 2006-2011, this mat may shift and get stuck under the accelerator pedal.
Risk if Unfixed
If the mat gets stuck under the pedal, it could stop the pedal from returning to its idle position, causing your vehicle to speed up unexpectedly. This could increase the risk of a crash if you're not able to control the vehicle's speed.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the mat with a new one, designed to stay in place and prevent any issues. This repair is free of charge, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.

Original — What Happened
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain all weather driver side accessory floor mats sold for use in model year 2006-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2007-2011 Lincoln MKZ vehicles manufactured November 9, 2007, through October 31, 2010. The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.
