On April 24, 2013, four separate recalls were issued affecting over 150,000 vehicles and 4 different automobile companies.

Subaru is recalling approximately 10,137 2014 Foresters due to faulty carpet mats.  The backing for the carpeted floor mats was not manufactured to specification.  As a result, the floor mats may curl when exposed to heat.  This curling could result in the mat interfering with the brake and accelerator pedals.

These models were manufactured in January 2013 through March 2013.  Subaru will notify and will issue an interim notification by the end of April 2013.  Owners may contact Subaru at 800-782-2783.  Subaru’s recall campaign number is WQH-44.

This recall is expected to start on May 3, 2013.  Owners may contact Nissan at 800-647-7261.
