Defect

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured August 25, 2014, to June 25, 2016, equipped with a factory-installed optional trailer hitch package. The trailer hitch assembly may have been attached with only a single fastener per side, not three per side as required.

Consequence

Without the proper amount of fasteners, the trailer hitch assembly may separate from the vehicle, and any towed vehicle may no longer be properly connected, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install two additional fasteners per side, free of charge. The recall began on October 13, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S62.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Towing Safety

The Trailer Hitch recall addresses a hitch assembly that may have only one fastener per side rather than three, creating a risk that the assembly could separate and leave a towed vehicle improperly connected. The Rear Suspension recall addresses certain Daystar replacement rear control arm brackets that could allow axle movement and increase crash risk. These conditions may not be obvious during everyday driving, and waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A VIN check determines whether either recall applies to your Jeep Renegade, so contact our service team before towing or continuing to postpone the inspection and remedy.
