Just came to post the letter, but looks like @FrankFrqnkFrank beat me to it. (Although, I'll post mine too in case he wants to delete his with his name and home address showing thru)

That reminds me that I try to remember to check mine when rotating tires and doing oil changes, but I forgot last time. Raining now, but I will have to try and check after it dries out.

Thank you, I did not see it bled through from the reverse side

Just got the letter in the mail today.
Sure enough, there’s some oil when I wiped my hand along bottom of rotor.
Just about 27k miles.

Edit—interestingly enough, it now shows up in the Jeep app with an “updated” date of July 31

I wonder if they will still cover this if you are otherwise out of warranty?
They crack me up. *IF* I've reached 10,000 miles? That ship sailed long ago.

Just got my letter....build date in late January or early february 2021 (I didnt go out to look for exact date). Mine was already replaced twice under warranty. First failure was noticed at 1400 miles and was a large leak even at that point. Second failure (after the initial replacement) was noticed around 4800miles. Very interesting letter...encourages you to look for the issue, take it in for an inspection and seems to explicityl acknowledge it is an issue.....butzero wording if they will extend the warranty period on that item....I'm guessing you are out of luck if you happened to be out of warranty coverage. How do other folks interpret that aspect of this? We've gotten a few similar notices for my wifes Subaru...but it went into great detail to explain they were extending the warranty on the CVT etc.

Got my letter yesterday. Checked and it’s leaking. I’ll call on Monday to see about getting it fixed. Mines a ‘21 I bought in June of this year with only 10,500 miles.

I just looked at mine with 23500 miles. It's dry. Whew! The build date on my door sticker says 8-21. My letter came Friday.

To those getting this letter post the MDH of your truck. I haven't gotten one yet but if I do I'll post here, but so far no leaks as mine is a very early build.

Got my notice; maybe they forgot I had it done long time ago?
