Mercedes-Benz All-Season Floor Mat, ML550 +2 more: Equipment

Affects Mercedes-Benz All-Season Floor Mat, ML550, ML350, AMG ML63 · 2012–2013 — about 9K vehicles.

The hazard

This interference could prevent the gas pedal from retracting and the vehicle may not decelerate as expected when the driver lifts their foot from the gas pedal, which could increase the risk of a crash. Should the pedal become trapped, steady application of the brakes will allow the vehicle to be brought to a stop.

What to do

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the floor mats free of charge. Until replacement mats become available, consumers are advised to remove their floor mats from the vehicle. The safety recall began on December 21, 2012. Only vehicles equipped with the accessory floor mats are affected. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz for more information at 1-800-367-6372.
