What is wrong
ON VEHICLES WITH A 3/4 INCH THICK PLYWOOD FLOOR AND EXTRA THICK FLOOR MATS, THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED, COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR. SHOULD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COME IN CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE PEDAL MIGHT GET CAUGHT AND NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BE MODIFIED WHERE REQUIRED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE.
