NHTSA Recall 14V606000
NHTSA Campaign Id 14V606000; Date: Sep. 29, 2014
A missing or insufficiently tightened nut could cause the lower clutch rod to separate from the bell crank arm, making it difficult to shift the transmission. If the lower clutch rod separates while the vehicle is stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed with the engine running, or it separates during deceleration, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Any of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.
