What year is your JK? I got a letter from Jeep saying that mine was included in the 2008 to 2010 cooler line extended warranty. Unfortunately, there is no pamphlet number reference in the letter. You may have to call the dealer with your VIN and ask if yours is covered. I just found this: NUMBER: 21-006-11 GROUP: Transmission DATE: June 15, 2011 SUBJECT: Extended Warranty - Transmission Oil Cooler Lines May Weep Transmission Fluid At The Hose To Tube Crimp Joints (7 Years or 70,000 Miles Warranty Extension) OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves installing new transmission oil cooler supply & return line assembly. MODELS: 2008 - 2010 (JK) Wrangler NOTE :This Extended Warranty Bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with 3.8L engine (sales code EGT) and an automatic transmission (sales code DGV) built before March 10, 2010 (MDHO410XX). SYMPTOM/CONDITION: Weeping transmission oil cooler lines at the hose-to-tube crimp joints. DIAGNOSIS: If the symptom/condition is experienced proceed to the repair procedure.

Hey Jeepers!
My jeep got diagnosed with a transmission line leak yesterday (at the dealership where purchased) during an oil change. It's a 2009 2dr X with 54,000 miles. They quoted me $385 to replace it and said the extended warranty I bought didn't cover it.
Glad I checked here.. You guys are always a wealth of knowledge! After reading about the factory extended warranty I called a different jeep dealership to ask about it. The service guy looked it up and mine was actually a recall that had been done already (I'm the second owner). He said for that reason it has a lifetime warranty and will replace it for me tomorrow morning.
Hopefully all goes well.

The first dealer needs to be educated by you.
The second dealer will fix it, but he, too, is a little misinformed.
First, it's not a recall. It's only a warranty extension.
Second, there is no wording in the warranty extension to imply a lifetime coverage of the cooler lines.
If he wants to cover them for lifetime, get it from him in writing. Otherwise, the coverage ends at 7 years/70,000 miles.

It's good you pursued it until you found a dealer who knew. The first dealer needs to be educated by you. The second dealer will fix it, but he, too, is a little misinformed.

I just want to update. I just contacted Jeep directly. It was in fact a recall on my vin#.

I am aware of a recall for something rubbing on the cooler lines, but I don't know the details for the years covered.
