SUBJECT:
Extended Warranty -Transmission Oil Cooler Lines May Weep Transmission Fluid At The Hose To Tube Crimp Joints (7 Years or 70,000 Miles Warranty Extension)


OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves installing new transmission oil cooler supply & return line assembly.

MODELS:
2008 -2010 (JK) Wrangler
NOTE: This Extended Warranty Bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with 3.8L engine (sales code EGT) and an automatic transmission (sales code DGV) built before March 10, 2010 (MDH0410XX).

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Weeping transmission oil cooler lines at the hose-to-tube crimp joints.

DIAGNOSIS:
If the symptom/condition is experienced proceed to the repair procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Open the hood
2. Raise the vehicle half way up on a suitable hoist.
3. The transmission oil cooler lines are weeping from the crimp joints
4. Remove the left front wheel and tire.
5. Remove and discard the plastic tie strap on the upper transmission oil cooler line for the oxygen sensor wiring.
6. Place a drain pan under the transmission oil cooler lines to catch any fluid that will drain out after disconnecting the lines from the transmission.
7. Using Special Tool 8875A, disconnect both transmission oil cooler lines from the transmission
8. Using approximately 10 psi of air pressure, carefully blow out the remaining oil from the transmission oil cooler and oil cooler lines.

NOTE: Blowing out all the transmission fluid from the original transmission oil cooler lines will eliminate having to clean oil from under the vehicle by the transmission oil cooler line connections.

That is the complete TSB.

I got the letter today in the mail along with a reimbursement form if you've already fixed it if you did have a leak.

Chryslers solution to weeping lines, just remove them.... :D

I have an 07 so I guess I'm safe:shaking::thefinger::devil:

We have had this fixed under warranty on about 30% of our fleet since the JK's came out. It was a problem we learned to look for after one of our '07's blew the line and burned tranny fluid all the way across town and then coasted into our driveway--that was a proud moment. Anyway, it is common on ALL the JK autos--just inspect for it at the tranny cooling lines just below and behind the radiator.

what exactly do they replace? the whole line or just the clamp part?

I'm in need of more information on this issue. Does anyone have a copy of this notice? I took the jeep in to get this looked at this morning and was denied warranty on the basis that "it's not leaking enough". I filled a complaint with Chrysler's customer service but I'm not expecting a resolution without an extensive fight. I want to be prepared.
Here is a pic I took last night:

I took my 2009 Rubicon in several months ago after receiving the notice in mail and verifying that they were weeping. I was denied that there was any such problem/bulletin/letter (which I didn't have with me,I live 25 miles from town). I was in because my Jeep is having the stating issues I have read about and I was told that there is no such problem and if it doesn't fail to start for the mechanics there is a $96.00 charge.
I have installed and serviced electronics ,(built police cars and some fire engine work too) for 13 + years and I can guarantee you it was not going to fail for the mechanics! LOL.
It is a sad representation of the Jeep name.

is there a copy or link to an official copy of this recall? I had my 2010 up on the lift yesterday changing the oil and noticed this fluid weep. Was going to call my local dealer and see what they say..... if they say anything. MIght help if I had official proof of a recall in my hand.

This is bull shit. I took my jeep in and they said it wasn't on the recall and if it was, my jeep was over 70k. Is it a 70k extension or stops at 70k? If it was the 30k plus the 70k, then I'd need to be at 100k right?
