Toyota Puts "Stop Sale" on Prius All-Weather Mats

Quote:

I just received word from a Toyota dealership that Toyota has put a "stop sale" on the Prius All-Weather floor mats. That basically means that Toyota dealerships across the country will not be receiving any new shipments of all-weather rubber mats until an undetermined future date. Dealerships have not been told that they can't sell any stock that they have on hand, so if you want a set before the snow/ice season kicks in this might be the time to buy.

Just put mine in yesterday. The fit on the flat portion of the floor is terrific, but I do wish they went a bit higher up the incline portion. I can not see how the mat would interfere with the accelerator pedal, especially if it is CLIPPED in. Oh well, guess I'll just consider myself lucky and enjoy them. Possible snow in the Hills today!

Make sure you take your carpeted mats out instead of just putting your all-weather mats on top. It's the people who can't read directions who are causing this recall.

Gee, why am I not surprised? This is what I predicted yesterday. The next step is for Toyota to put out an ammendment to the owner's manual forbidding driver's side floor mats.

Good. I'm glad it's only the "All-Weather" mats. This won't affect me. I was looking for the "Southwest Urban Desert Longitude XX, Latitude YZ, Parked In Garage Six Days Per Week, One Day Of Sun, Driving On Four Overcast Days Per Week, Three Sunny Days Per Week, Work Commute, Dry Bulk Errands Only Mats, Part #4561A63.001.02WD.501B.12.version6.218E"

Update: Toyota has told their dealerships they can no longer sell the all-weather mats for any model years of the Prius. We've pulled the product from the PriusChat Shop but will put it back up as soon as Toyota allows their sale.

I dont see what the problem is. The mats have holes and hooks. Mine are hooked in. Are the hooks coming out or something because I never had a problem with mine coming out. I dont see a flaw with this product to cause a recall. All I can see is stupid people not following directions. Maybe they should recall the people.

So. does this mean those that are out there are now "collector's items" and are going to be worth THOUSANDS in the future?

I just noticed my all-weather mat has a rip in it. I'm POed because I think I spent about $100 for the set and hoped they'd last more than three years. Then I heard about the recall and thought, "Maybe I'll get a new mat!" BTW, I can't see how my mat could possibly interfere with my accelerator pedal.

WeatherTech stock just shot up. I hope Toyota doesn't try to remove the mats when going in for service.
