Issue
Issue:
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the clutch pressure plate could overheat and break. If this happens, there would be a loss of power to the wheels. A broken pressure plate may also crack or break the transmission case. This could cause debris to fall from the vehicle.
Safety Risk:
A sudden of loss power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, debris from an overheated and fractured pressure plate could contact nearby parts and increase the risk of a fire. Parts that fall from the vehicle could create a road hazard for others, and increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the clutch system, install a protective hose sleeve, reroute a wire harness, and replace components as necessary
