At first read my reaction was what a big blow to these vital Jeeps right out of the gate. After some thought I feel Jeep is the victim here as a supplier, again, has dropped the ball and Jeep and their manufacturing team did nothing wrong by assuming the parts installed were tested and correct. It is critical to identify the culprit here and the error and correct it. Unfortunately it seems suppliers under pressure to maximize profits continue to cut corners or rush the process and the auto factory gets the blame. China is notorious for defective parts and if that is the case here it is time to bring the build process in house. I love my gadget filled driving experience, will never go back on that, but complexity brings risk and that requires increased oversight. Something went wrong and Jeep suffers. Reality 2021.

software update.... as recalls go... not huge, if it wasn't a safety issue it would be rolled in quietly.
