  1. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Iā€™m in no hurry. Stock clutch with no issues. I want my dealership to do as many of these as possible before I decide to take it in, let others be the guinea pigs. Besides there will be that much more life left in the new parts the longer I wait. Sure, the risk is it could burn to the ground...
  2. Stop/Start Not Ready-Battery Charging

    Had a red battery warning 2.5 years after both batteries were replaced under factory warranty. Stop/Start caution ā€œService Soonā€ light is on now after that. Jeep never had issues starting/running. I did not know this but seems kinda shady. Both batteries replaced under factory 3yr/36K...
  3. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Maybe find a better insurance company? Just confirmed with USAA that they would cover it 100%.
  4. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Yep. Why Iā€™m leaning towards it but the Overtrail model instead. Prefer V6 and donā€™t want any kind of battery assist. But itā€™s a lot more $$$ vs the Yota. Weā€™ll see. Good thing neither will be widely available the first couple of years as thatā€™s about when Iā€™d be ready to get one or the other.
  5. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I donā€™t trust the service departments at the 3 stealerships close to me. Iā€™ll be taking my 18 JLUR to the dealer I bought it from. Butā€¦ā€¦I will wait many many months before I do that. Iā€™ll let the service department practice on other peoples Wranglers first šŸ¤£. My JLUR is bone stock 37k on the...
  6. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Correct that was part of the initial recalls I guess to do that standard test. If I remember correctly if it failed the "stress" test they wouldn't let you drive it and would keep it.
  7. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    If you haven't been in already for the earlier recalls then I would go in. If you've already been in for the test where they basically burn up your clutch to see if it holds then install a small sleeve around a hose then there's nothing to do other than wait until April or whenever Stellantis...
  8. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    In the meantime make sure you have a fire extinguisher in the Jeep and don't store anything valuable in it. Also, may want to document any accessories or aftermarket parts you have on it. You'll be glad to have that list for insurance if the thing self combusts. I installed the Mopar hood...
  9. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    The dealers are always THE last people to get up to speed on TSB's and Recalls. They aren't proactive about keeping up to date on stuff, you'd think they would be. Then again I guess they aren't incentivized to do so. Factory warranty work for them is low margin so I guess that's why they...
  10. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    If all the clutches are replaced Iā€™ll wait to have it done by my dealer later rather than sooner. Iā€™ll let them mess up other peoples clutches first so they can learn before doing mine.
  11. New JL Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    2 pages back https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/new-jl-steering-issue-tsb-08-074-20-for-improved-steering-feel.56363/post-2015451
  12. Death Wobble Settlement Agreement in Class-Action Case Could Mean Reimbursement for Some Jeep Owners

    So the steel steering box TSB referred to a track bar replacement not the damper. I had the damper replaced in 2019, V41. Not sure if there is a newer damper out since then though. I will have to call the dealer back to get the track bar replaced since they read the TSB wrong and didnā€™t do it.
  13. Death Wobble Settlement Agreement in Class-Action Case Could Mean Reimbursement for Some Jeep Owners

    I have an FCA (now Stellantis) Lifetime Warranty on my 2018 so a warranty extension of 8 years or 90k miles means nothing to me. My warranty is forever. Iā€™ll never sell this Jeep so itā€™ll be used until itā€˜s condemned or totaled. On a different note I had the steering box (steel box) replaced...
  14. Best quality Locking hood latch ??

    With the Mopar lock you cannot ride around with the hood closed and unlocked. You can take the key out when the hood is open though. Once you close the hood itā€™s locked again. So the dealer is correct. I just installed this today and thatā€™s how it works.
  15. Mopar JL Hood Lock

    Part Number: 82215137AC Harbor Freight Rivet Tool: https://www.harborfreight.com/17-12-in-hand-riveter-with-collection-bottle-58612.html?_br_psugg_q=rivet+gun The Mopar part comes almost 100% dissembled. The paper instructions are good but youā€˜ll need to watch Quadratecā€™s Mopar locking gas...
  16. Start/Stop Canary For Battery Issue After 3 Years

    2018 JLUR I donā€™t use Start/Stop much but I do want it to work. It wasnā€™t working due to ā€œBattery Chargingā€ warnings. I had zero issues with the batteries, no bad battery symptoms. So I took it in and the dealer said both batteries are bad. The JLUR was exactly 3 years old with about 22,000...
  17. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) on 2018-2020 JL Manuals [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    No shock here. I called the dealer asked if they knew about the recall and had the software update. They said yes should take about 30min to update. So I scheduled an appointment to go in and wait on the update. One and a half hours later they come out and tell me thereā€˜s an update but FCA...
  18. Clutch Recall (FCA W12 | 20V-124) on 2018-2020 JL Manuals [overheating clutch pressure plate]

    I see the obvious hole but where is the fire damage in that immediate area?
