Description (français)
Un blocage dans l'alimentation en huile d'une partie du mécanisme de commande de l'embrayage peut entraîner un fonctionnement irrégulier et inégal. Cela peut empêcher l'embrayage de se désengager au moment où le conducteur tire sur le levier, ce qui peut le surprendre s'il voulait s'arrêter et causer un accident.
