2007–2008 Jeep Wrangler recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2008 jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured from june 2006 through july 2008, equipped with automatic transmissions. These vehicles were not equipped with a transmission fluid temperature warning system.
💥 The risk
Fluid could boil over and may come into contact with a hot engine or exhaust component and cause a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and install a "hotoil" message in the instrument cluster and a chime indicating an elevated transmission fluid condition. The recall began on february 22, 2010. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-835-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
