How does one know whether they have pre or post recalled floor mats without going to the stealership?

doesn't the recall for floor mats only replace the driver's mat? and even if you brought the car in for the recall they replace the mat with another mat with hook/clips that prevent the mat from sliding around.

Interesting. Had no idea just the driver mat. Either way I'm ok with that.
I ask cause I think I may have found some recalled floor mats for very very cheap but wasn't sure if they were recalled or not. If they were the recalled driver mat I'd still buy them knowing that I could get the driver one replaced.

The recall replaces both the driver and front passenger mats. Neither pre or post recall mats come with hooks, they just have holes the secure with the hooks in the car. The main difference is the the post recall mats are half the thickness and are installed without the carpet mat in order to increase the distance between the mat and the acellerator.

Correct also the easiest way to know if they are pre-recall is to look at the top piece by the pedals if it has a rim/lip on the top area it is pre-recall if the lip stops about 3/4 from the bottom up it is post recall

The recall/replacement should have "IS" on it if I am not mistaken, and they replaced driver/passenger side............
