Jeep Wrangler Investigation

April 25, 2006
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a preliminary investigation of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler because of problems with the clutch assembly and the clutch pedal linkage.

The investigation, which began April 20, could involve as many as 33,000 vehicles but NHTSA reports that the exact number will be determined during the investigation.

The agency has received consumer complaints that the clutch pedal suddenly failed and was no longer capable of releasing the clutch.

The complaints noted a noise from under the instrument panel that might be associated with the failure as well as a plastic tab falling to the floor.

There are no crashes or injuries reported as a result of the clutch failures.

DaimlerChrysler is also recalling 6,876 of the 2006 Jeep Wranglers equipped with 6-speed manual transmissions because of potential problems with the clutch.

The automaker reports the hydraulic clutch master cylinder rod may break, making the clutch difficult to disengage when the pedal is depressed.

The broken clutch could prevent the Jeep from moving, lead to increased stopping distances and engine stalling.

DaimlerChrysler has received 17 complaints from Jeep owners about the clutch but no reports of crashes, injuries or property damage. Owners also are expected to be notified of the recall later in the month.
