On certain vehicles, the engine can be started without the clutch pedal being depressed. Should this occur while the transmission is in gear, the vehicle can lurch forward or back, depending which gear was selected. Such unintended movement could result in property damage, or cause the vehicle to strike a bystander, potentially resulting in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a clutch pedal switch assembly.
