On certain Dodge Ram heavy duty pickup trucks equipped with a manual transmission and the optional power adjustable pedal package, the clutch pedal connecting rod to the clutch master cylinder may separate. This may not allow disengagement of the clutch when the pedal is depressed, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increased stopping distance and engine stalling. Such an occurrence could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch master cylinder hydraulic system.
