POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
What Happened
The clutch assembly is like the 'connection' between your engine and transmission - it helps you shift gears smoothly. In certain 2018-2021 Jeep Wrangler and 2020-2021 Gladiator models with manual transmissions, the clutch pressure plate can overheat and break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the clutch pressure plate overheats and fractures, it could cause a fire. Additionally, if it breaks, debris could fall onto the road and you might lose control of your vehicle, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will update the software in your vehicle to prevent the clutch from overheating and breaking - this service is free of charge. You should schedule the update as soon as you receive your recall notice.
