Another loose bolt issue?
New body style JGC, WL models.
Almost like the rear suspension failure recall on the 2020+ Ford Explorers.

We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around?? 
Jeep Dodge Chrysler a once proud American Company....Once not no more...We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around??
Butttt have they ever been *this* cheap to manufacture?We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around??
Probably because manuals are the best anti-theft device, and most folks have no clue on how the drive them.We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around??
Manual Wranglers aren't the easiest to drive smoothly at the best of times.
Mine being a '98 has the AX-15 5-speed manual. It is very notchy. I added a B&M short shift kit which made it even more notchy, but the throws are definitely nicer. It is very easy to drive as far as starting on a hill is concerned from all the low-end torque of the 4.0L, I could start out in 2nd most times if I wanted to, but it isn't the smoothest transmission.
One big benefit of mine being manual is none of my family members or siblings ask to borrow it.
I'm guessing that in an effort to lighten the clutch for a big portion of their market (I swear every other college girl here on the Cape has one) they made the new Wrangler clutches what they are now; touchy and delicate... I need to really concentrate to get a smoother shift in my Wife's. No feel to the clutch at all, but at least the gearshift is decent.
My clutch is basically new (I installed a Luk clutch kit and new flywheel last year) and it still has the feel of a dump truck.
Adds to the charm though.
That's my Tacoma in a nutshell, so not just a Jeep thing. 3rd by far is the worst to try and get it into. It's not a deterrent for anybody in my family to drive though. Heck, my own mother drove it the other day when the battery went flat in her car.

Ahhh yes, another "let's crap on Stellantis" thread because nobody else has recalls, right?
This is the "new" Alpha Romeo platform (WL) GC's. The Durango is still on the old WK2 platform, which is why it isn't affected.
Honda recalled 564,000 CR-V's back in April because the rear subframe can rot and the rear suspension detach from the vehicle:

In some SUVs, road salt can cause corrosion and make suspension parts detach, resulting in drivers losing control.

As noted in the article, this is on the heels of a recall for the mirrors, where the glass can fall out, which in turn is on the heels of a recall for seatbelts that don't latch properly.
Where were you on this one:
Or this one:
There are lots more...
EVERYBODY has recalls, it drives me nuts when people make threads pretending that their favourite brand has never even heard of the idea of recalls, let alone ever has any.
“Yeah well that’s just a supplier problem Toyota didn’t catch, so it’s not actually Toyota’s fault!”Ahhh yes, another "let's crap on Stellantis" thread because nobody else has recalls, right?

I must've missed where this turned into one of those threads.
