The defect

The clutch cable may rub against the master cylinder brake pipe when the clutch pedal IS operated. Continued operation of the vehicle may result in wear through of the insulation on the clutch cable. The resulting metal on metal contact could lead to failure of the brake pipe, loss of brake fluid, and partial loss of brake action.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, correct system by providing a minimum 1/2 inch clearance between clutch cable and brake pipe to avoid metal on metal contact.
