Ford 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, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

Ford reportedly told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 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, the report said.
Ford reportedly 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 will install a bracket over the cut-out in the carpet behind the pedal, the report added.
