Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies defects that may affect your Cherokee’s safety. Cruise-control software may prevent deactivation, creating a risk of unintended continued speed or acceleration. A Power Transfer Unit issue may cause loss of drive or Park, while incorrectly manufactured halfshafts may fracture without warning. Loose seat fasteners may allow seat movement in a crash, and water intrusion into a liftgate module may increase fire risk. Waiting can leave a safety defect unresolved and may increase exposure to a crash, injury, rollaway, or fire. Stop using cruise control if that recall may apply and arrange a free VIN check promptly.
