Safety Recall 07-08 Wrangler with Autos

Anonymous · 2010-01-14T21:20:37-08:00

Saw this in Consumer Reports: 07-08 Jeep Wranglers with auto trans were not equipped with transmission-fluid temperature warning system. Fluid could boil over, come into contact with hot engine or exhaust and cause fire. 161,450 vehicles effected. Dealer will install "hot oil" message in instrument cluster and an alert chime. Call Chrysler at 800-835-1403 for details.

Thanks for posting this Richard. Looks like my 2000 TJ should be fine.

My 08 is a 6-speed so I'm safe too!

Thanks for the heads up!
