For the 29 incidents with sufficient information available to make an assessment; 23 (79 %) were controlled by the driver either shifting to neutral, turning the engine off, or both; 4 (14 %) were ended by the driver either kicking the pedal free (2) or pulling the mat away
from the pedal (2); and 2 (7 %) were ended by the pedal freeing itself
from the mat with no apparent driver action.None of the drivers who reacted to the incident by shifting to neutral or turning the engine off reported any difficulties with either action.The subject mats were sold by Ford and Lincoln dealers directly to
customers as an optional accessory equipment item or, beginning in November 2007, the mats were also available as a factory installed accessory if
ordered with a new vehicle.Ford estimates that approximately 82,579 affected driver's side all weather floor mats were sold
worldwide; either over the counter through Ford dealerships or as original equipment.Owners that purchased the subject all - weather floor mats as a factory installed accessory with their new vehicle will be notified to return their all weather floor mats to their Ford or Lincoln Dealership in exchange for replacement mats.Owners of all other potentially affected vehicles will be notified that, if they have an affected Ford driver's side all weather floor mat, they should return their mats to the dealership in exchange for replacement mats.The VOQs associated with the closing of this investigation are: 10327597, 10332233, 10334211, 10335336, 10339330, 10348772 (and duplicate 10342572), 10372674, 10379562, 10415911, 10426255, 10434107, 10521053, 10554966.

from an unknown location, selling the product to
customers worldwide on its websites.
