| Details |
On certain vehicles equipped with an manual transmission, the clutch pedal position switch plunger could contact the steering column boot and thereby not be able to extend when the clutch pedal is depressed. In this condition, the vehicle can be started with the transaxle in gear (not in neutral) without the clutch pedal depressed. If the driver is not applying the brake, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and a crash could occur. Correction: Dealers will install a shield to prevent contact between the column boot and the clutch pedal position switch. Additional information may be available on Transport Canada's website |
