NHTSA Campaign #99V190000 POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

1999 DODGE RAM -- Vehicle description: Pickup trucks equipped with gasoline engines and manual transmissions. The underbody hydraulic clutch line heat shield is too short, allowing the plastic clutch line material to be directly exposed to exhaust temperatures.
