Recall: Manual Transmission / Clutch Recall for 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator (Notice: 21V-028)

[JeepCares]

Recall no longer showing on jeep app or NHST vin search? For some reason i had to re enter my vin on my jeep app? After i did it, it said nothing about the flywheel recall? Did this happen to anyone else?

If you want to send us your VIN, we can look into this for you.

Anyone actually get this done yet. I am scheduled to get the Mopar 4:88's installed next week and trying to decide if I let them do it or pass. Feedback from anyone that has already done it would be helpful. Thanks!

I had mine done at the local dealer this morning. There are two updates - they flashed both the PCM and IPC (instrument panel) - and it took the tech about 20 minutes to complete. I didn't notice anything different in how the Jeep drove on the way home, but, as others have mentioned, the selected gear now shows just above the odometer on the panel now.

Can you post a picture of that? Thx!

Did you get and explanation on what the flash does. Am I the only one waiting for the clutch to slip before I get the recall so I can get a replacement clutch?

Thats what I'm waiting for. As far as I know there's no end date so why not? I'm at 26k miles now. I probably won't get back to the dealer until 60-70k ish and have them look then.

Yeah ill probably go to dealer one more time for an inspection before warranty is up. Last time I just said I know there is a recall but I dont have time for it now.

i don't think ill be going in. ill start putting some money away for a new single plate clutch. i don't drive in traffic, don't tow, and my offroading is FS roads to go camping. clutch always gets out and truck in neutral at stop lights (old habbits from driving heavy clutch trucks)

I just read the recall notice i received in the mail last week. It was worded strangely to me. it says "The remedy for this condition is not currently available. We are making every effort to finalize the remedy as quickly as possible, and will service your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor)." That means to me the dont even have a solution to the problem yet.

My recall read the same way. I'm curious what the "fix" will be this time. Last time it was just moving some wires and adding some shielding.

Most of us here are not engineers but we all know the fix needs to be different then the rumored fix that Jeep had some engineers pencil whip together to save money in the short term.

"Finalize the remedy" means "our lawyers have organized an airtight case against the contractor and are currently dotting all the "T"s and crossing all the "I"s before we take it into litigation to wash our hands of the problem and force the defendants to produce a corrected clutch at their own cost including retroactively by legal means or settlement outside of court."

Just a guess.

1927/8 Minneapolis Moline. Her clutch works fine. ZING! She usually hangs out at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine show down in Vista, CA. Haven't been in ages, but this old beater creaks and squeaks her way about the grounds. No stealthy uranium rods, just good ol' fashioned ozone killin' external combustion stank. God, I love that smell! Glorious!!!
