Recall 02V056000: Floor Mat Interferes With Accelerator

Defect: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a Nissan-approved accessory floor mat that was installed either at the assembly plant or by the dealer, due to the length of the driver side floor mat, a small amount of mat movement could cause the mat to interfere with the accelerator pedal and not allow the pedal to release after it is depressed. If this occurs unexpectedly, it could lead to a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the driver side floor mat and if it is a Nissan floor mat subject to this recall, the dealer will replace both the driver and passenger side floor mats. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began March 18, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
