The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, clutch diaphragm springs may crack or become damaged, which could result in the driver being unable to shift gears, or potentially result in a loss of motive power. Depending on traffic conditions and the driver’s reactions, these issues could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a pedal travel limiter and pedal switch.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les diaphragmes d’embrayage élastiques à transmission manuelle pourraient se fissurer ou être endommagés. Cela pourrait empêcher les conducteurs d’embrayer ou causer une perte de force motrice et accroître ainsi les risques d’accident, selon le trafic et la réaction des conducteurs. Correction : les détaillants doivent installer un limiteur de course et un commutateur de pédale.
