If you go to this page and enter your VIN you will see the recall if it is in effect for you vehicle. http://https://www.moparownerconnect.com/oc/us/en-us/sub/Pages/RecallsQuery.aspx
My 2013 JKUR with a build date of 19 May 2013 was recalled for this.
I just had it in to the dealer several times 2 weeks ago to have the leaking radiator replaced and a full cooling system flush done. Too bad they did not have this information yet.
Here is a cut and paste from the web site.
Chrysler Recall #P61
NHTSA Recall #14V-631
Recall Date October 07, 2014
Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk:
THE POWER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF RIGHT AND/OR LEFT HEATED POWER MIRROR FUNCTION. WATER MAY TRAVEL ALONG THE HEATED POWER MIRROR WIRING HARNESS AND INTO THE HEATED POWER MIRROR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR(S). THIS CAN CAUSE CORROSION INSIDE THE HEATED MIRROR CONNECTOR(S) AND THE FORMATION OF A RESISTIVE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE POWER AND GROUND ELECTRICAL TERMINALS. A RESISTIVE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE POWER AND GROUND ELECTRICAL TERMINALS IN THE HEATED POWER MIRROR CONNECTOR(S) COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE WITHOUT WARNING.
Repair Description:
THE HEATED POWER MIRROR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS FOR THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEATED POWER MIRRORS WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CORROSION. CORRODED CONNECTORS MUST BE REPLACED AND ALL VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE POWER FEED ELECTRICAL TERMINAL FOR THE HEATED POWER MIRRORS RELOCATED TO A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. IN ADDITION, A WATER SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED TO DIVERT WATER AWAY FROM THE HEATED POWER MIRROR CONNECTOR AND DIELECTRIC GREASE WILL BE INSERTED INTO THE CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CORROSION
Recall Status:
INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE <---Typical

It seems these manufacturers are really dragging their feet on parts for recalls anymore. My g/f has a recall on her 06 lacrosse for the faulty ignition and thats from June '14.
Now if it wasnt for the forums I wouldnt have known anything about the recall on '11.
Thanks to FB jeep pages I just found this out.

It seems as though as we can buy death traps and everyone is cool with it taking so long to get them fixed? Sheesh things really are going down hill with quality of items. And I thought the 90's was bad. Its only gotten worse & CHEAPER since then. But the price keeps going up???? lol! UGH!
A true shame.
