Discussions with drivers of vehicles with adjustable pedals disclosed that some were unfamiliar with the feature.  Decreased brake to accelerator pedal spacing may increase the risk of simultaneous application of the brake and accelerator pedals which may cause a collision, injuries or death.  Correction:  Owners will be instructed as to the proper way to set the position of the pedals and to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the spacing between the brake and accelerator pedal measured.  If the spacing is found to be less than 50mm, the dealer will adjust the pedals to increase the distance between them to greater than 50mm.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"02S40","part_number":null,"units":40145,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Autres","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules dotés de pédales réglables, à cause d'un vice de construction, l'écart latéral entre les pédales peut varier entre 41 et 85 mm. Or, on s'est aperçu que bon nombre de propriétaires ne savaient pas que les pédales étaient réglables et il se peut qu'elles soient trop rapprochées l'un de l'autre. Il y a donc danger que le conducteur appuie simultanément sur le frein et l'accélérateur, ce qui peut causer un accident qui peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures ou des pertes de vie. Correction : On devra indiquer aux propriétaires comment régler correctement la position des pédales et leur demander de se rendre chez le concessionnaire pour que l'écart entre la pédale de frein et l'accélérateur soit mesuré. S'il est inférieur à 50 mm, on devra refaire le réglage de la position des pédales."},"vehicles":[{"year":2000,"make":"FORD","model":"TAURUS","vehicle_id":"2000_ford_taurus","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2001,"make":"FORD","model":"TAURUS","vehicle_id":"2001_ford_taurus","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"FORD","model":"TAURUS","vehicle_id":"2002_ford_taurus","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2002187"}
