Alternatively, you can replace it yourself and get reimbursed when the recall happens. I think it is just a matter of time.
Yabbut I don't think this will be an easy fix for Jeep. I think they will need to do a major remanufacture of the current filter head like perhaps a milled puck. IF he buys it on his own with hopes of future reimbursement they would likely say "pound sand, you did that one on your own we will only replace it with the new improved version."
If his looks like mine internally, it would be stupid to provoke him. You don't have to be technical at all to get scared by this failure when you see it up close and personal. A jury would eat it up. Mine failed at a transition point from one piece to another. I really think it may just be a manufacturing defect in the form of a poor connection between the two parts. If so, it is really more of a quality control issue than anything. It may also have been caused or aggravated by leaving the key on and running the battery down. Having it energized with no fuel flowing couldn't be good. If so, that might be fixed (I hate to say it) by another programming change. If the power is fed to the heater by a relay controlled by the ECM, it could be disabled when the engine is not running for a certain amount of time. The cure could easily be worse than the disease given DC's track record so far.
