What the defect is
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The starter ring gear, which is attached to the clutch assembly with three mounting screws, could become separated from the clutch assembly. This possible failure could be caused by (1) the fracture of the starter ring gear itself at the mounting holes due to an incorrect positioning of the mounting holes, or (2) by the failure of the mounting screws. If either of these conditions would occur, the result would be fragments of the starter ring gear being thrown from the clutch area.
What could happen
If these fragments came into contact with the vehicle's tire, a puncture could occur resulting in loss of vehicle control.
What gets fixed
DEALERS WILL (1) REPLACE THE STARTER RING GEAR MOUNTING SCREWS AND MEASURING THE STARTER RING GEAR MOUNTING HOLES. THE MEASUREMENT OF THE STARTER RING GEAR WILL DETERMINE IF THE CORRECT POSITION OF THE MOUNTING HOLES EXISTS AND IF THE POSITION IS INCORRECT, THE STARTER RING GEAR WILL ALSO BE REPLACED; OR (2) REPLACE THE STARTER RING GEAR WITH A NEW RING GEAR HAVING THE CORRECTLY POSITIONED MOUNTING HOLES AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING SCREWS.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 24 October 2000.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
