I heard on the news that there was a recall, but didn't hear what for. Can anyone fill me in?

 

teh GT had head problems.. and this was before they sent out the car to the dealers..

 

I heard that the 03-04 cobras were recalled because the carpet was causing the gas pedal to stick. I haven't seen anything on the 05-06 GT yet.

 

This was this morning on the news. I had to leave before it came on..

 

It was probably for the 03-04 Cobras with the accelerator getting stuck in the carpet, you probably heard "Mustangs" and though it was for the 05-06.

Ok thanks, they did say that there was an accident caused. Your right, I ASSumed

 

I had found a place on the fordvehicles.com site where you can look up recalls on your vehicle. I can't remember exactly where on the site I found it but if you poke around on there you might see it.

 

I found this on the re-call
MUSTANG RECALL

Ford said Tuesday that it is recalling nearly 20,000 Mustang Cobra sports cars after receiving complaints that the back of the accelerator pedal could become caught in the floor carpeting and lead to a crash.
Ford told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in late January that it had received about 100 complaints and allegations of two crashes and one injury. The recall affects 19,140 Mustang Cobras from the 2003 and 2004 model years.
Ford said in a letter to NHTSA that the rear surface of the pedal could interfere with the carpeting during heavy throttling and make it difficult for the pedal to return to an idle position. The problem could be found in vehicles where the floor carpeting does not fit flush with the sheet metal.
Dealers are expected to install a bracket over the cutout in the carpet behind the pedal. Owners are expected to be notified of the recall in late April and will not be charged for the repair.

My gas pedal constantly gets stuck to the floor too... I'm guessing it's user error though [sm=gears.gif]
