The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a preliminary investigation of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler because of problems with the clutch assembly and the clutch pedal linkage.

The investigation, which began April 20, could involve as many as 33,000 vehicles but NHTSA reports that the exact number will be determined during the investigation.

The agency has received consumer complaints that the clutch pedal suddenly failed and was no longer capable of releasing the clutch.

The complaints noted a noise from under the instrument panel that might be associated with the failure as well as a plastic tab falling to the floor.

There are no crashes or injuries reported as a result of the clutch failures.
