Floor mats may curl when exposed to heat
April 26, 2013Subaru is recalling 10,137 model year 2014 Forester vehicles manufactured from January 2013 through March 2013.
The backing for the carpeted floor mats was not manufactured to specification. As a result, the floor mats may curl when exposed to heat, distracting the driver and/or interfering with proper operation of one or a combination of, the vehicle's clutch, brake and accelerator pedals. Brake or accelerator pedal interference may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace each of the vehicle's four (4) carpeted floor mats with new ones. These services will be performed free of charge. Subaru will issue an interim notification by the end of April 2013.
Owners may contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783. Subaru's recall campaign number is WQH-44.
