RJ-0677-2

On certain vehicles with manual transmission with which the engine can be started without depressing the clutch pedal, an internal part of the ignition switch unit is defective in manufacturing, and the ignition key may get stuck in the 'start' position, blowing a fuse. If this occurs, in the worst case the engine could stall and will not restart.
