2006 Dodge Viper Coupe recalls

Power train: clutch assembly, pedal/hand lever(motorcycle)

NHTSA campaign 15V222000 · reported April 15, 2015 · Chrysler (FCA US LLC) · 43,939 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2006 Dodge Viper and Jeep Wrangler and Liberty vehicles manufactured July 1, 2005, to July 31, 2006. In the affected vehicles, the springs within the clutch pedal position switch that prevents the vehicle from starting unless the clutch pedal is pushed down may break. As a result, the vehicle may not be started when the clutch pedal is pushed down or the engine may crank and start without the clutch pedal being pushed down causing the vehicle to unexpectedly lurch.
The risk: If the vehicle unexpectedly moves there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clutch ignition interlock switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R13.
