All I know is that just cranking dow on those two bolts worked for me. I have mechanics hands so two clicks of the elbow is good enough. At this point, problem is solved. It's been a while and I check them about every 3 months and they are still tight.
Whats the trick to getting a wrench on the upper one? I couldn't get a torx on it.

I don't know. I have lots of tools (way too many) and since i grew up as a mechanic, I just keep trying.

Mind taking a pic of the tool you used?
Mine isn't included in the TSB but it's very, very close to the, I'm guessing, FCA arbitrary cutoff.

Nothing cosmic. Regular ratchet, 2” extension, 3/8 drive to 1/4 drive adapter, then the T30 bit.

To get to the lower one, I had to put my head right near the front left tire, on the ground, then reach up over the diff to get the ratchet on the bolt.

Doing a little preventative maintenance and figured I would check my bolts. Both were not very tight. I used a t30 bit with the ratchet that comes with the Jeep to get to both bolts from below no problem.
Thanks

25000 miles on my 2.0T and no mechanical issues with the engine but I heard my radiator fan screaming so I checked the temp and I’ve never seen it over 222 so I check outside and there’s a massive puddle of coolant. Didn’t expect that out of nowhere. My battery light also came on?

I’m guess it’s those two water pump torx screws. If so, Chance P has the solution. I suspect you didn’t overheat excessively.

Holy crap I did not realize this till I read ur comment but the dealer 'supposedly' fixed this recall when they had the car in January. Apparently it did not work so lets see what they say tomorrow...
