Hey All, got a recall last night on my Jeep app that said the rear side windows have a recall but no additional information. I will call the dealer when I get a chance. Any idea what this is? Maybe for sag? I have a 2018.

They will send you updated info for your owner manual.

WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The rear quarter windows vertical retainer on your vehicle may not be properly installed to the door rail after removal. This condition may cause the soft top rear quarter window panels to separate from the vehicle while driving at highway speeds.

HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION?
FCA will mail all vehicle owners with a hard top an addendum card, owners with soft top vehicles an addendum and updated tip card. These documents show the detailed quarter window installation directions. We ask that you insert these documents into your Owner’s Manual.

More info for reference. I went to the dealership and they simply printed a 7 page addendum for the owner's manual. Really just an excuse to get you to visit your nearest dealer service department. I think they're just getting bored with the lack of business with the economy shutdown. Doesn't even apply to my 2 door hard-top JL. I suppose the recall was ordered for all JL's in the off chance that hard-top owners may purchase and replace it with a soft-top in the future. Wouldn't it make better sense to just update the instruction manual for the soft-top itself? Maybe they felt compelled to update every owner's manual ever delivered instead of performing a VIN check?
