POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler, and 2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. The clutch pressure plate may overheat and fracture.
- What it can cause
- Overheated clutch components may increase the risk of a fire. Additionally, damage to other nearby components can result in debris falling onto the road or a loss of drive, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the clutch assembly and update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed from November 16, 2023 through July 25, 2024. Owners may contact (FCA US, LLC) customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US LLC's number for this recall is 19A. This recall expands and replaces previous recall 21V-028. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 21V-028 will need to have the new remedy completed.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 69,201 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the power train 31 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V639000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5,717 complaints with NHTSA, 2,716 of them before this campaign was filed. 695 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2018, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V363000 (steering), 25V741000 (electrical system), 24V676000 (back over prevention), 24V652000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on February 23, 2023 as campaign 23V116000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
