Certain vehicles clutch rods are failing from fatigue near the turnbuckle due to bending moments experienced during each pedal cycle. The clutch rod can break without warning and make it difficult to shift and if the clutch rod breaks while the vehicle is stopped, the vehicle may lunge unexpectedly in the direction of the selected gear. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch rod assembly with a solid rod design that does not have a turnbuckle.
