Description of the problem	I have a 2013 370z with a manual transmission. On 4-9-2014 i was traveling 45 mph on expressway. I began slowing for light and downshifting from 6th gear to 5th and 4th. When i shifted into 4th gear the clutch pedal did not return to it's normal position and stayed about 1/2 way down towards the floor of the vehicle. I then shifted into 3rd gear and the clutch pedal went completely to the floor and remained fully depressed and did not return to it's upright position. I had no clutch function at this point. I muscled the car into neutral to avoid stalling the engine and came to a stop at the red light. I was unable to place the car in gear when the light turned green. I ground the gears and got the vehicle into 2nd gear, got off the expressway and into a nearby parking lot. I called a tow and had the vehicle towed to the nearest nissan dealership. I was informed that the hydraulically actuated clutch fluid had overheated and failed causing the hydraulic actuation of the clutch to fail. The dealership flushed the hydraulic system and replaced the hydraulic fluid with higher temperature fluid from a gtr per nissan service bulletin ntb13-026a. The vehicle seems to be operating properly at this point but i was very concerned and could have easily been involved in a accident as i was sitting at a green light on an expressway with a disabled vehicle. Nissan is obviously aware that standard duty hydraulic fluid in 370z's can overheat and fail as noted in their service bulletin. I feel that hydraulically actuated manual transmission 370z's should be filled with high temperature hydraulic fluid from the factory.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
