Yes. Says it starts in July. Plenty of time to wear a hole in my trans cooler line.

And this is exactly why I didn't get an Auto Tranny. I had issues with my 08 Sahara Auto Tranny lines.

So if I have a 13JKU that is lifted and 35s am I now screwed from the dealership fixing this problem? Maybe it's something I can do on my own?

Definitely shouldn't have a problem with a recall. Warranty shouldn't be automatically affected, but if the dealer decides your mods caused a problem it may be at their discretion on whether to cover it.

This is what I did last year in September.
I put 3/8" hose on the power steering and the trans cooler line. Then I ziptied it, and haven't had a problem since.

This is only for people who are too lazy to shift gears? (AKA Auto transmission?) I went under my Jeep today and did not see those lines.
