Friction can cause the clutch pressure plate to overheat, which can lead the pressure plate to break unexpectedly. The breaking of a pressure plate can form cracks or holes in the transmission housing, from which heated debris can escape. Heated debris expelled from the transmission mounting can come into contact with a source of ignition in the vehicle or in the surroundings, which can cause a fire.

Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles have a part called the clutch pressure plate that may get too hot. If it breaks, it can damage the transmission and cause hot pieces to fly out.

What's happening? The broken pressure plate can make holes in the transmission. Hot pieces could land on something flammable and start a fire inside or near the vehicle.

Does this affect me? Owners of certain Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator vehicles in Germany, Luxembourg, or Norway may be at risk.

What should I do? Take your vehicle to a Jeep dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic about the fix.
