Mine is a 2002 model and has the same problem with the heated seats. They get so hot it could do physical harm. I called Jeep customer service about it and even though I have an identical problem to the 2003-2004 models they said my vehicle is not covered by the recall I guess I just have to put up with it.
Unbelievable.

Thats a shame, mines a 2000 and the driver side seat has stopped working, would have saved me some time fixing it.

I got that letter some time last year and booked it into Jeep to get it done, all sorted without having to pay anything, but I do miss the fire that used to be in the seats compared to the mild warmth they've replaced it with  :011:

My 2002 had the recall done a couple of yrs ago.

Not that the drivers seat works anymore, just the passenger one.
