Power Train · reported Sep 11, 2026
Complete and sudden clutch failure and unable to shift into any gear. No clutch slippage or change in engage point/clutch burning smell. Was traveling at relatively low speed (35mph). Dealership tried to get me to tell my insurance company it was due to water damage and then quoted me almost $7,000 to replace the clutch.

Recall in question is Extension Z04 (TSB 25-FL-002H).
