Concern

Accelerator pedal may jam

Defect, as DVSA words it

Two conditions have been identified that may inhibit the throttle pedal from returning to its normal idle position. 1) The possibility that a loose or incorrectly located floor mat may interfere with the lower edge of the pedal assembly and 2) A potential foul condition between the engine compartment bulkhead insulation material and the throttle cable.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles to fit revised design floor mats and securing system. A revised design quality assured throttle pedal and associated hardware is also being fitted to provide increased clearance between the lower edge of the pedal and the carpet. This recall supersedes R1998/038.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
