states or countries/territories:
In the United States
Texas
Louisiana
Mississippi
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
Virginia
Hawaii
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
Under Safety Recall 22S02, in some of the affected vehicles, exposure to a high temperature, high
humidity, and high salinity environment is causing the brake pedal “stop bumper” to disintegrate and
fall off on some of the affected vehicles resulting in the brake stop lamps remaining on continuously,
even when the brake pedal is not applied. If the brake pedal bumper is missing on automatic
transmission vehicles, the engine can be started, and the transmission can shift out of park without
depressing the brake pedal.
For 22R01, owners will be instructed to request a repair under this regional program if their vehicle
exhibits brake pedal concerns or if they are concerned about the brake pedals in their vehicles.

NOTE: Vehicles identified as originally sold, or currently registered in the high ambient
temperature states are included in Safety Recall 22S02 and can be identified in OASIS.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to replace the brake pedal bumper. This service must be performed on all affected
vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters were mailed the week of April 8. 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that
arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to
the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of
up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1st 2021 all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of
March 1st 2021 or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your
dealers fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the
task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other
than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing
this task consistently and accurately.
•

All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department
following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.

•

Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.

•

If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line
or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts
were inspected and validated to have been replaced.

•

After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the
parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.).

This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order
open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement,
found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to
chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair
Process.
Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle
repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA
parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval
requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be
replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require
approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair
approval by the designated employee.
