Steering wheel recall

[ShadowsPapa]

I did a search for all Jeep recalls. Nothing for steering wheel, not even a mention of the heated wheel - however, found this fun fact -

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling 539 model year 2018 Jeep Wranglers.

The intermediate steering shaft may not have been properly welded causing a split where the external spline is formed.
If the weld seam splits, the steering wheel may lose center positioning causing a loss of steering responsiveness and increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the intermediate steering shaft, free of charge.

Well hell, my heated steering wheel stopped working yesterday. I’ll push the button and the light comes on for a few seconds then goes off. Saw another post where they have to replace the steering wheel due to a melted wire.

“UPDATE” interestingly it worked 1-1/2 times today. Came on for the entire trip to the store, came back on when I left the store then shut off half way home. I will be taking it to the dealer but just wanted to share what’s happening.

Has anyone heard of this, due to the heated element failure?

My JT gets way too hot to leave on for very long
