Jeep Jk Safety Recall

[HOrnbrod]

Got one in the mail I knew was coming regarding the automatic transmission oil cooler tube rubbing against the power steering steering pump return eventually causing a hole in the cooler tube. I knew about this one months ago from reading JK forums and Chrysler finally made the formal recall after thousands of transmissions burned up. I have the lines tie-wrapped away from each other so they can't rub.

 

Called the dealer to schedule an appointment and guess what? They don't have the parts yet to perform the recall. Until they come in, if they ever come in, JK owners are advised to keep an eye out for transmission leaks. This will really help someone cruising down the interstate heading for Florida or somewhere............

They have been issuing recalls with no parts available alot lately. This seems to be a relatively new thing for them as I have never seen them do this till this year. All it does is piss the customers off ( the ones who don't fully read the letter they get) when they come to the dealership with their letter and we send them away. It must be a way for Chrysler to cover their buts until they can really fix an issue. A way for them to say they were wroking on it if they ever get sued for any of these issues.

Yes, a CYOA move for sure. The two lines were in fact touching on mine and I wrapped them with slit pieces of 3/8" fuel hose at that point so they're well insulated from each other. I'm sure all the 2012-2013 JK owners did the same, right?

I did not and mine is not affected by the issue.

 

This reminded me to make a note to fix the power steering line rubbing a hole through the lower radiator hose on the MJ.
