Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was started with out clutch pedal being depressed which caused the vehicle to roll away until it stalled. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number :15v222000 (power train)however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer is offering to accommodate them due to their residence currently not being in the us. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue, in which they were told that they had to purchase the part and there was no guarantee for reimbursement. The vehicle failure mileage approximately 32,000. Kh.

This vehicle was classified as having excellent off-road capabilities. After it's first excursion off-road, the clutch throwout bearing was found to be rattling and had come apart. A full clutch replacement was completed with all new components by a licensed and certified mechanic with excellent outcome. 1 month after the clutch replacement the clutch pedal suddenly went to the floor and would not release the clutch. Replacement of the clutch slave, master and hydraulic line as well as a full hydraulic fluid flush yielded no success even with pressure and vacuum applications to bleed the system. This failure of plastic parts designed for off-road applications is a major safety issue. This system is fed by the brake fluid reservoir and could compromise the braking system if it fails. Numerous TSB's and a possible recall were noted but the dealer notified me that the VIN was not covered under the recall even though it was within the scope of the recall covered years, make and model. Will have Jeep finish the repair at no cost since it seems to be a flawed design.
