Ford Vehicles Recalled for Floor Mat Issue
General Motors isn’t the only company going on a recall spree.
Ford is calling back a total of 82,576 vehicles from the 2006-2011 model years including the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ. According to the recall notice, all the affected vehicles have an issue with the driver’s side all-weather floor mat, which may have been improperly installed. As a result, the mats could come in contact with the gas pedal. No injuries related to the recall are known, though two accidents have been reported.
The affected floor mats may have come pre-installed on the vehicles or purchased by owners from a Ford or Lincoln dealer. Owners will receive a new set of floor mats in exchange for their old ones.
