Yes thats the reason for the recall.....clutches arent getting replaced unless they are damaged by what the recalls cover......theres 100,000 plus manual trans JTs and JLs on the road. A very very small percentage have issues
The pressure plate comes apart due to clutch slip/overheating aka not normal wear and tear. Air in the system is the cause for clutch slip plain and simple. These systems are very hard to bleed all the air from the system
