Consumer Description
THERE ARE NOW 2 RECALLS ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION CLUTCH FAILURES. ORIGINAL RECALL 20V124000 AND A NEW ONE 21V028000. BOTH ARE FOR CATASTROPHIC PRESSURE PLATE FAILURES FOR CLUTCH SLIPPING, OVERHEATING AND FRAGMENTING. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ALL THESE PRESSURE PLATES WHEN THE CLUTCH DISK WEARS DOWN OVER TIME AS IS NORMAL FOR A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND STARTS SLIPPING THEN? IT WILL MOST LIKELY OVERHEAT THESE PRESSURE PLATES AND CAUSE FAILURE THEN. IF THESE PRESSURE PLATES ARE DEFECTIVE THEY NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AND NOT JUST REROUTE ELECTRICAL LINES AND REPROGRAM THE SOFTWARE TO LIMIT ENGINE TORQUE. FIX THE ISSUE!
