    CLUTCH LEVER MAY FOUL ENGINE WIRING

    Defect

    There is a possibility that the clutch lever may foul a moulded clip which secures the engine wiring harness. Should this occur the clip may open releasing the harness and making it liable to chafing and damage by the clutch lever.

    Remedy

    Recall the affected vehicles and substitute a nylon fixing strap for the original moulded harness clip. This will ensure adequate operating clearance for the clutch lever.
