Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #15V222000 · 2015 · 43,939 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the springs within the clutch pedal position switch that prevents the vehicle from starting unless the clutch pedal is pushed down May break. As a result, the vehicle May not be started when the clutch pedal is pushed down or the engine May crank and start without the clutch pedal being pushed down causing the vehicle to unexpectedly lurch.
Why it matters: If the vehicle unexpectedly moves there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clutch ignition interlock switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015.
