Supposedly my vehicle was not part of that recall, however I had my clutch replaced before 2000 miles....
It started with an ocassional rattle noise that appeared right after I purchased the car, however that went away as quickly as it started until the same symptom appeared about a month later. Fortunately the service manager at the dealer was able to get it to make its noise when I dropped it off later, and agreed the clutch was suspect.
After disassembly, I was told that one of the rivets holding the clutch material onto the clutch disk had come apart, which destroyed the clutch and flywheel. The whole assembly was replaced, and I haven't had an issue since. I now have 3300 miles.
HYW 49? As in California Gold Country area? I live relatively near there...
