Details

What's wrong: The clutch pedal connecting rod to the clutch master cylinder may separate from the master cylinder. This may not allow disengagement of the clutch when the pedal is depressed, which could result in unintended vehicle movement.

Why it matters: Increased stopping distance and engine stalling may occur increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the clutch master cylinder hydraulic system free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during April 2009.
