Symptoms of Transmission Leaks

Owners of affected 2022-2024 Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models may notice transmission fluid leaks. These leaks can manifest as fluid spots under the vehicle or a noticeable drop in transmission fluid levels. Specifically, this technical service bulletin (TSB) addresses leaks in WL and JL PHEV transmission systems, which are part of the POWER TRAIN component group.

Identifying the Source of the Leak

This manufacturer communication, identified as NHTSA ID 10248507, provides guidance to technicians for diagnosing transmission fluid leaks. The TSB highlights that leaks might originate from several areas within the transmission system.

Technicians are instructed to inspect for leaks through the transmission case itself. This is crucial because leaks can be caused by possible porosity of the transmission case material. Additionally, the Oil Cooler Lines are identified as another potential source of leaks. Before replacing components like the transmission oil pan or filter gaskets, a comprehensive inspection is necessary to pinpoint the exact origin of the leak.

Repair Procedure Summary

The TSB emphasizes a detailed inspection process. For 2022-2024 Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee PHEV models experiencing transmission leaks, technicians should first thoroughly inspect the transmission case for any signs of porosity. This step is critical to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure the correct repair is performed. The Oil Cooler Lines should also be carefully checked for any leaks. Only after a complete inspection has identified the precise source should parts such as the Pan and Filter, Transmission Oil, or their gaskets be considered for replacement. This diagnostic approach aims to resolve the underlying cause of the Jeep Wrangler transmission leaks.

What Owners Should Do

If you own a 2022-2024 Jeep Wrangler or Grand Cherokee and suspect your vehicle has a transmission fluid leak, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with an authorized Jeep service center.
