Jeep Wrangler Recall: Transmission Overheating Problems
Filed under: Autos

Every week there seems to be another recall, if it is not a toy it is a car or SUV. We have recently had recalls from Ford and Toyota and the latest recall is the Jeep Wrangler, models built from 2007 to 2008. The reason that Chrysler is recalling these vehicles is the fact that its transmission could overheat.
Chrysler who is working closely with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) over potential transmission overheating problems has said that 161,450 of these SUVs will be affected by the recall.
The NHTSA said that if these vehicles were not fitted with a transmission fluid temperature warning system, then the transmission oil could overheat and in some cases boil over. If this hot oil was to come in contact with the hot exhaust system, then a fire could occur.
When you take your vehicle to your nearest dealer, they will inspect and then install an oil warning light in the instrument cluster. The dealer will also fit an audio warning chime, warning you if the oil begins to get too hot.
The recall will begin in December and is free of charge, get more information from AutoBlog.
