Jeep TJ Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, the hydraulic clutch master cylinder linkage rod may break. This may not allow disengagement of the clutch when the pedal is depressed, which could result in unintentional vehicle movement, increased stopping distance and engine stalling. This could cause a vehicle crash without warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch master cylinder linkage rod.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the cup plug which retains the park pawl anchor shaft in the 42RLE automatic transmission could be missing or not properly staked in its bore, potentially allowing the shaft to move out of position and preventing the transmission from being placed in the PARK position. If this occurs and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away and cause an accident without warning. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket to ensure that the park pawl anchor shaft is retained in the proper position.
Summary
Certain sport utility vehicles equipped with a 4.0L engine only. The design of the intake and exhaust manifolds could allow debris to accumulate at the #3 cylinder location. This could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will install a manifold shield to modify the air flow characteristics and to prevent the accumulation of debris in the area of the #3 cylinder.
Summary
Certain vehicles could develop a high resistive bridge within the ignition switch after sufficient exposure to water and impurities. This bridge would complete the circuit and possibly result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will install a re-designed switch.

Correction: The ground screws will be removed, new pilot holes will be drilled adjacent to the original holes, and the ground screws will be reinstalled in the new holes.
