## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US, LLC\) is recalling certain 2018\-2021 Jeep Wrangler and 2020\-2021 Jeep Gladiator vehicles equipped with manual transmissions.  The clutch pressure plate may overheat and fracture.


## What can happen

Overheated clutch components may increase the risk of a fire.  Additionally, damage to other nearby components can result in debris falling onto the road or a loss of drive, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

FCA US LLC will notify owners, and dealers will add software to reduce engine torque capability when clutch assembly temperatures rise to a level that may damage the inner pressure plate, free of charge."  FCA has ordered a stop sale for the affected vehicles as of February 25, 2021.  Owner notification letters were mailed on March 4, 2021.
