What is wrong
Utilimaster is recalling certain model year 2012 Reach vehicles manufactured from December 6, 2011, through August 14, 2012. The adhesive used to attach the floor mat to the floor in front of the driver's seat may deteriorate allowing the floor mat to separate from the floor. An unsecured floor mat could interfere with the throttle pedal.
What can happen
Floor mat interference with the throttle pedal could prevent the throttle pedal from retracting to its normal position, increasing stopping distances and the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
The exisiting floor mat will be removed and a new floor mat will be installed with new adhesive and mechanical fasteners. The safety recall began on November 1, 2012. Owners may contact Utilimaster at 1-800-582-3454.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
