What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITHOUT THE RETAINING CLIP WHICH IS NEEDED TO KEEP THE CLUTCH CABLE FROM CONTACTING THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE PIPE. OVER AN EXTENDED TIME, THE CLUTCH CABLE COULD RUB THROUGH THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE PIPE, RESULTING IN A BRAKE FLUID LEAK AND LOSS OF FRONT BRAKES.

The remedy

THE MISSING CLUTCH CABLE CLIP WILL BE INSTALLED AND THE BRAKE PIPE WILL BE REPLACED, IF NECESSARY, AT NO COST TO THE OWNER.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS.SYSTEM: POWER TRAIN; CLUTCH CABLE CLIP.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE DUAL BRAKING SYSTEM WILLENABLE THE VEHICLE TO STOP, BUT THE STOPPING DISTANCE WILL BE INCREASED WITHOUTPRIOR WARNING. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
