A floor mat the culprit? Anything is possible but it is not uncommon for big companies to look elsewhere to shift the appropriate level of responsibility but maybe in this case that was the case. I know when I saw how mine was I was very surprised. I'm glad I checked.
About a year or so ago, Weathertech sent out free replacement mats for the drivers side of the Tundra because of this problem. Don't know whether Weathertech will still provide the free replacement, but you should contact them.....
