What this recall means for you
On certain 2019-2020 Ram 1500 trucks with adjustable pedals, the driver's floormat can get in the way of the accelerator pedal in some pedal positions. When that happens, the pedal may not return fully to its normal resting (idle) position.
A pedal that does not return as expected can affect how the vehicle slows down, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should take this seriously and not wait to have it checked.
The fix is free. Dealers will modify the driver's floormat to remove the potential for pedal interference. Owners will be notified by mail, but you can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (Chrysler recall number W63). The recall began September 10, 2020.
