Component: EQUIPMENT: OTHER PIECES

Summary:

Vehicle Description: Multi-purpose passenger vehicles equipped with a driver's side optional equipment rubber floor mat. Repeated movement of the driver's feet and actuation of the accelerator pedal can result in a shifting of the mat's position. This shifting can cause an interference with the accelerator pedal.

This could cause a restriction of the pedal's return to the idle position, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Isuzu is asking for the return of the floor mat set and will reimburse owners for the cost of the rubber floor mat set along with any return shipping costs.

Owner notification is expected to begin during December 1997. Owners who send their floor mat set to Isuzu and do not receive the reimbursement within a reasonable time should contact Isuzu at 1-800-643-4070. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
