More Than 150,000 Jeep Wrangler's Recalled by Chrysler

Over 150,000 Jeep Wranglers have been recalled by Chrysler to correct an issue with automatic transmission overheating. The problem occurs when the automatic transmission fluid is heated to the point that it boils over and could possibly spill onto hot engine and/or exhaust components and catch fire.

According to Chrysler, the 2007 and 2008 Jeep Wranglers lack a transmission fluid temperature warning system that would alert the driver if the temperature heats up too much. The transmission will usually only get hot enough to boil the fluid when driven under extreme conditions or under a heavy load.

Jeep Wrangler owners can call Chrysler toll free for more information at 1-800-835-1403.
