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.
There should be a build date on your window sticker if you still have it. If not the build date should be on your driver side door. You don't need to have it done if your jeep was built after February.

Apparently it can cause a fire if it's an older build date and the recall is not done.
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.
