Recall Summary:
There is a potential for interference between the clutch control cable and brake pipe in the master cylinder. This can result in rubbing contact when the clutch pedal is operated. Also, the brake pipe clearance to the transmission case may be inadequate. If this condition exists, it could eventually result in a failure in the brake pipe, causing loss of brake fluid and partial loss of braking action.
How to Fix:
The clutch cable routing will be revised to prevent contact with the master cylinder, without charge.
Recall Notes:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. System: power train; clutch assembly. Consequences of defect: should a partial loss of braking action occur while thevehicle is in motion at a time when minimum stoping distance is required, anaccident would result.
