New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – 19A
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2018 through 2023 Model Year (JL) Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 through 2023 Model Year (JT) Jeep
® Gladiator vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the above vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, in some circumstances, the clutch pressure plate may become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture. When a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks or holes in the transmission case, allowing heated debris to be expelled from the transmission case. In some circumstances, the operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch slippage prior to the failure and may receive instrument cluster messaging. Heated debris expelled from the transmission bellhousing may come in contact with an ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area, potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles. The remedy is currently under development. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 2nd Quarter of 2023.

SYMPTOM DESCRIPTION
About 69,200 of the above vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, in some circumstances, the clutch pressure plate may become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture. When a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks or holes in the transmission case, allowing heated debris to be expelled from the transmission case. In some circumstances, the operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch slippage prior to the failure and may receive cluster messaging. Heated debris expelled from the transmission bellhousing may come in contact with an ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area, potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle.
SCOPE
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED
Replace the clutch assembly then reprogram the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) first, then reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with updated software.
ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if the vehicle must be held overnight.

OWNER NOTIFICATION / SERVICE SCHEDULING
All involved vehicle owners known to FCA are being notified of the service requirement by first class mail. They are requested to schedule appointments for this service with their dealers. A generic copy of the owner letter is attached.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
A. Clutch Replacement
- Open the engine compartment hood.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cables as follows:
NOTE: On this dual battery system the auxiliary battery ground cable connects to the main battery cable end and grounds through the main battery ground cable connection to the body, chassis, or engine (depending on vehicle). Therefore, simply disconnecting and isolating the main battery negative cable clamp from the main battery post will not isolate the auxiliary from the vehicle’s electrical system. The auxiliary battery will still be grounded through its connection to the main battery negative cable end. If both battery negative cables are not isolated, it will result in the vehicle electrical system and Power Distribution Center (PDC) still having battery connection which can cause vehicle wiring damage or deployment of air bags on re-connection.
a. Turn the ignition off. Wait five minutes to allow the main modules to go to sleep.
b. Disconnect and isolate the supplemental (auxiliary) battery negative cable from the main battery negative cable end. This will disconnect and isolate the auxiliary battery ground (Figure 1).
c. The main battery ground can be disconnected by removing the main battery negative cable from the negative battery cable end, or by disconnecting the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) connector, loosening the negative battery clamp nut and removing the negative battery cable end from the battery post. Either method will disconnect the main battery. Both batteries should be disconnected from the vehicle electrical system (Figure 1).

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Clutch
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA US LLC, has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain [2018 through 2023 Model Year (JL) Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 through 2023 Model Year (JT) Jeep® Gladiator] vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The manual transmission clutch pressure plate on your vehicle [1] may, in some circumstances, become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture. When a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks or holes in the transmission case, allowing heated debris to be expelled from the transmission case. In some circumstances, the operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch slippage prior to the failure and may receive cluster messaging. Heated debris expelled from the transmission bellhousing may come in contact with an ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area, potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
The remedy for this condition is not currently available. We are making every effort to finalize the remedy, and will service your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor) when the remedy is available.
FCA US will contact you again, by mail, with a follow-up recall notice when the remedy is available. Once you receive your follow-up notice, simply contact your Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge or RAM
dealer right away to schedule a service appointment [2]. Additional options for your next steps are included on the left side of this notification. We appreciate your patience.
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online [3]. Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, or you can call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236

SYMPTOM DESCRIPTION
About 69,200 of the above vehicles equipped with
manual transmissions, in some circumstances, the
clutch pressure plate may become overheated
through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to
rapidly fracture. When a pressure plate fractures, it
may result in cracks or holes in the transmission case,
allowing heated debris to be expelled from the
transmission case. In some circumstances, the
operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch
slippage prior to the failure and may receive cluster
messaging. Heated debris expelled from the
transmission bellhousing may come in contact with an
ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area,
potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in
increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons
outside the vehicle.
SCOPE
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped
with a manual transmission.
NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been
identified as not involved in this recall and therefore
have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be
in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires
you to complete this recall service on these vehicles
before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and
should perform this recall on vehicles in for service.
Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP
inquiry process.
REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED
Replace the clutch assembly then reprogram the
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) first, then reprogram
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with updated
software.
ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer
inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle
if the vehicle must be held overnight.
COMPLETION REPORTING / REIMBURSEMENT
Claims for vehicles that have been serviced must be
submitted on the DealerCONNECT Claim Entry
Screen located on the Service tab. Claims paid will

SERVICE PROCEDURE
A. Clutch Replacement
1. Open the engine compartment hood.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cables as follows:
NOTE: On this dual battery system the auxiliary battery ground cable connects to the main battery cable
end and grounds through the main battery ground cable connection to the body, chassis, or engine
(depending on vehicle). Therefore, simply disconnecting and isolating the main battery negative cable
clamp from the main battery post will not isolate the auxiliary from the vehicle’s electrical system. The
auxiliary battery will still be grounded through its connection to the main battery negative cable end. If
both battery negative cables are not isolated, it will result in the vehicle electrical system and Power
Distribution Center (PDC) still having battery connection which can cause vehicle wiring damage or
deployment of air bags on re-connection.
a. Turn the ignition off. Wait five minutes to allow the main modules to go to sleep.
b. Disconnect and isolate the
supplemental (auxiliary) battery
negative cable from the main
battery negative cable end. This
will disconnect and isolate the
auxiliary battery ground
(Figure 1).
c. The main battery ground can be
disconnected by removing the
main battery negative cable from
the negative battery cable end, or
by disconnecting the Intelligent
Battery Sensor (IBS) connector,
loosening the negative battery
clamp nut and removing the
negative battery cable end from
the battery post. Either method will
disconnect the main battery. Both
batteries should be disconnected
from the vehicle electrical system
(Figure 1).
d. Measure the voltage at the PDC positive battery cable connection to verify the vehicle electrical system is
powered down.
3. Position the shifter in 3rd gear and push the select cable adjustment button.
4. Raise and support the vehicle.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Clutch
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA US LLC has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
[2018 and 2023 model year (JL) Jeep® Wrangler and 2023 model year (JT) Jeep® Gladiator]
vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and
your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The manual transmission clutch pressure plate on your vehicle [1] may, in some circumstances,
become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture. When
a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks or holes in the transmission bellhousing,
allowing heated debris to be expelled from the transmission bellhousing. In some circumstances,
the operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch slippage prior to the failure and may receive
cluster messaging. Heated debris expelled from the transmission bellhousing may
come in contact with an ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area,
potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury
and injury to persons outside the vehicle.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer
will replace the clutch assembly and update software to provide escalating visual and audible
warnings to the operator, ultimately resulting in the potential reduction of engine torque
capability when clutch assembly temperatures rise to a level that may damage the inner pressure
plate. The estimated repair time is six hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle
for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time.
Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to
minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you
may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3]
Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within
60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement,
you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you
for your attention to this important matter.

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – 19A
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2018 through 2023 Model Year (JL) Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 through 2023 Model Year (JT) Jeep® Gladiator vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
VINs identified as being involved in this campaign are currently live and searchable. Stop sale is in effect for the above-identified vehicles.
Vehicles impacted by a stop sale are eligible for reimbursement allowance through the Recall Floorplan Reimbursement Policy (RFPRP), which can be requested upon recall claim submission.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the above vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, in some circumstances, the clutch pressure plate may become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture. When a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks or holes in the transmission case, allowing heated debris to be expelled from the transmission case. In some circumstances, the operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch slippage prior to the failure and may receive instrument cluster messaging. Heated debris expelled from the transmission bellhousing may come in contact with an ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area, potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles. The remedy is currently under development. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 2nd Quarter of 2023.
We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.

IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Clutch
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety
Act.
FCA US LLC, has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain
[2018 through 2023 Model Year (JL) Jeep® Wrangler and 2020 through 2023 Model Year (JT)
Jeep® Gladiator] vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The manual transmission clutch pressure plate on your vehicle [1] may, in some circumstances,
become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture.
When a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks or holes in the transmission case,
allowing heated debris to be expelled from the transmission case. In some circumstances, the
operator may smell a clutch odor and or clutch slippage prior to the failure and may receive
cluster messaging. Heated debris expelled from the transmission bellhousing may
come in contact with an ignition source in the vehicle or surrounding area,
potentially leading to a fire. A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury
and injury to persons outside the vehicle.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
The remedy for this condition is not currently available. We are making every effort to
finalize the remedy, and will service your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor) when the
remedy is available.
FCA US will contact you again, by mail, with a follow-up recall notice when the remedy is
available. Once you receive your follow-up notice, simply contact your Chrysler, Jeep®,
Dodge or RAM dealer right away to schedule a service appointment [2]. Additional options for
your next steps are included on the left side of this notification. We appreciate your patience.
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you
may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online [3].
Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within
60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement,
you may still need to have the recall repair performed.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to
replace the clutch assembly and update software to provide escalating visual and audible warnings to the operator, ultimately resulting in the potential reduction of engine torque capability when clutch assembly temperatures rise to a level that may damage the inner pressure plate. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production :
FCA US has a longstanding policy and practice of reimbursing owners who have incurred the cost of repairing a problem that subsequently becomes the subject of a field action. To ensure consistency, FCA US, as part of the owner letter, will request that customers send the original receipt and/or other adequate proof of payment to the company for confirmation of the expense.
This recall is not related to a part defect but rather a design specification where the clutch intermediate pressure plate could fracture during extreme overheating. The remedy is a clutch assembly replacement and updated software for the vehicle that mitigates safety risks related to the clutch assembly.

Description of Remedy Program : FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to
replace the clutch assembly and update software to provide escalating visual and audible warnings to the operator, ultimately resulting in the potential reduction of engine torque capability when clutch assembly temperatures rise to a level that may damage the inner pressure plate. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production :
FCA US has a longstanding policy and practice of reimbursing owners who have incurred the cost of repairing a problem that subsequently becomes the subject of a field action. To ensure consistency, FCA US, as part of the owner letter, will request that customers send the original receipt and/or other adequate proof of payment to the company for confirmation of the expense.
This recall is not related to a part defect but rather a design specification where the clutch intermediate pressure plate could fracture during extreme overheating. The remedy is a clutch assembly replacement and updated software for the vehicle that mitigates safety risks related to the clutch assembly.
