The defect

An internal clutch component may be outside specification and fail, which could cause this clutch component to inhibit clutch departure.

The hazard

In the event of a clutch component inhibiting clutch departure, transmission of enough driveline torque to overcome the parking brakes while the vehicle is idling in neutral may occur and cause unintended vehicle motion, increasing the risk of personal injury or death, property damage or crash.

The remedy

Affected owners should contact an Authorised Western Star Dealership who will inspect the clutch and replace if necessary, free of charge.
