On August 18 2016 there is another recall on 2016 JGC manufactured before Feb 2016.

Nothing pops up if enter VIN on Jeep recall website, but the TSB was out there.

Anyone has more info on this?

Did you read it? Only 2,000 vehicles are affected. That is a small % of the cars produced in that time frame. So your vin may never pop up. It also says that the dealers will initially only receive enough parts to fix 5% of the affected cars.

It goes on to say this is a revision to an existing recall, not a new one. The only thing that has changed is the repair procedure. This can happen when people in the field find a better way to do something.

You provided the link to the document that has all the information.

The original S28 recall on the shifter was for poor wire crimping somewhere in the shifter. It could cause the trans to shift into neutral (if you were lucky) or into park (if you weren't lucky) with no way to get it back into drive. This could happen while moving or at a stop. It had nothing to do with the potential for fire.

I had assumed the wire crimp issue had something to do with the wiring harness but the recall actually replaces the entire shifter assembly.

That recall was mailed to owners whose vehicles fell within the build dates listed in the S28 recall.

The TSB appears to be revised service procedures for performing the original S28 recall. It still only applies to the owners originally affected by and receiving the S28 recall notice.

The recall itself is revision II dated August and states:

NOTE: The service procedure has been updated.

The OP put a link to the revised recall.
