NHTSA Complaint #11488199 — 2018 JEEP WRANGLER

OIl Cooler failure resulting in oil spill onto the transmission and motor housing. Per discussions of JK forums and other associated websites, this is a common issue with the 3.6 penstar motors. It was recalled on the Jeep Cherokees; however, failure to recall on the JK models were not available. Furthermore, most tech are stating when changing the oil filter, over torque can cause the seal to break or housing to crack resulting in leak. On manay forums, the JK ranging in years for the oil cooler issue is higher than normal.
