Chrysler has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2007 through 2008 Jeep Wranglers manufactured between June 2006 through July 2008 passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.  They stated these vehicles were not equipped with a transmission fluid temperature warning system.  Fluid could boil over and come into contact with hot engine or exhaust component and cause a fire.

Dealers will inspect and install a “Hotoil” message in the instrument cluster and a chime indicating an elevated transmission fluid condition.  The recall is expected to begin during December 2009.  Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-835-1403.
