Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler.

The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,000.
Huge amount of oil leaking from under vehicle. Oil pooled where oil filter housing is located and ran down back of engine onto exhaust and transmission housing. This is a fire hazard to have hot oil leaking into hot exhaust pipes. This apparently is a known issue with Jeep Wranglers as the part is made of plastic and cracks. This needs to be recalled.
