Clutch cover diaphragm spring may fatigue &/or fracture, resulting in an inability to disengage the clutch, shift gear, and potential loss of power that could result in a crash. This recall just came in the mail and is pretty serious. I am traveling for the holidays and my service station is unable to service my vehicle for over a month. For something this serious, that is an unacceptable time frame.

Only having 25,000 miles on car, driving down the interstate and had to slow down for standing traffic. I applied my clutch and the clutch pedal got stuck to the floor and did not want to return to the top. It has done it multiple times since then. Fca has a recall on this but does not include the abarth version of the 500. Just barely out of my warranty and this is a known problem that fca is just ignoring.
