Component

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
The clutch pedal position switch in your Viper or Wrangler/Liberty is a safety feature that makes sure you don't start the engine unless the clutch pedal is pressed down. In some 2006 models, these springs could break.
Risk if Unfixed
If that happens, your vehicle might not start when you press the clutch pedal, or it could start without you pressing the pedal. If that happens, your vehicle could move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will replace the faulty switch with a new one, free of charge. You'll get a notification, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
