Defect

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with 2.0L engines. The engines in these vehicles may be missing valve stem keepers, which can allow the valve to drop into the engine cylinder causing engine damage. These engines may also have a reversed camshaft cap that can damage the camshaft bearing causing camshaft failure.

Consequence

Cylinder damage or camshaft failure can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair or replace the affected engine components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 14, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U52.

Frequently Asked Questions

2019 Jeep Cherokee Recall InformationNHTSA recall information identifies eight recalls for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Applicability can depend on the vehicle’s engine, equipment, and VIN, so a VIN check is the best way to confirm whether a campaign remains open.
  • Engine: Certain 2.0L engines may be missing valve stem keepers or have a reversed camshaft cap. Engine damage or camshaft failure could cause a stall and increase crash risk. Dealers will inspect and repair or replace affected components at no charge.
  • Transmission: A transmission component may not have been welded correctly and could fail to transmit engine power, causing the vehicle to stop moving. Certain 2.4L vehicles may also stall because of improper transmission calibration. Dealers will replace the transmission or re-flash the transmission controller, as applicable, free of charge.
  • Brake Caliper: Rear brake caliper pistons may allow gas pockets to form, reducing rear braking performance and increasing crash risk. Dealers will bleed the brake system at no charge.
  • Powertrain Control Module: A voltage regulator chip may fail, causing a stall or no-start condition. A dealer will replace the powertrain control module free of charge.
  • Electrical System: The instrument cluster may fail to activate warning chimes, messages, and gauges, limiting important driver information. Dealers will inspect and replace the instrument cluster as necessary at no charge.
  • Seat: Loose front passenger seat mounting bolts may allow the seat to move during a crash, increasing injury risk. Dealers will tighten the mounting bolts free of charge.
  • Air Bag: Impact and acceleration sensors may not properly detect certain crash events, which could result in improper air bag deployment. Dealers will replace affected sensors at no charge.
  • Pinion Shaft: A steering rack gear may break and cause loss of steering control. Dealers will replace the steering gear free of charge.

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information describes possible engine damage or camshaft failure that can cause a stall, transmission problems that can stop power from reaching the wheels, and calibration issues that can also cause a stall. Other campaigns address reduced rear braking, a powertrain module that may cause a stall or no-start condition, missing warning information, loose passenger seat bolts, air bag sensors, and possible loss of steering control. These defects can increase crash or injury risk. Waiting may leave a safety concern unresolved, so check your VIN and schedule service promptly, even if your Cherokee seems to drive normally.
