The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 6 speed manual transmissions, the hydraulic clutch master cylinder linkage rod May break. This May not allow disengagement of the clutch when the pedal is depressed.
The risk
Unintentional vehicle movement, increased stopping distance, and engine stalling could occur which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the clutch master cylinder linkage rod free of charge. The recall began on August 7, 2006. Owners May contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
