Interesting experience. We have a 2021 JL with a manual transmission that the pressure plate came apart. It legit came apart and out the bell housing. It landed in the median on I-20 and caught the grass on fire. So Jeep Chrysler is aware of the issue and have not come with a conclusion. At the moment there are no parts nor remedy available so they warn drivers to pull over if they get “clutch overheat” message which is the latest recall. The recall reflashes the PCM to throw this message. This particular vehicle hasn’t had the reflash. Local dealer told them nothing they can do at the moment. Keep in mind 40k mikes and purchased new there.
We found a used transmission and upgraded the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel with an ACT kit. Customer is back on the road and I suppose Jeep is receiving the invoice certified mail. I’ll be interested in how they respond.
