FCA Australia recalls two different Jeep Cherokee models

FCA Australia has recalled Jeep KL Cherokee with a year range of 2013 – 2015 and Jeep WL Grand Cherokee with a year range of 2021 – 2023.

10,160 KL Cherokee models have been recalled due to a manufacturing defect in the power liftgate module (PLGM) which may fail due to an electrical short circuit and result in a vehicle fire with the ignition turned on or off.

A vehicle fire could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders, and/or damage to property.

Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Jeep dealer to schedule an appointment to have the PLGM inspected and replaced, free of charge.

2,854 WL Grand Cherokee models have been recalled because the upper control arm retaining bolts may have been damaged during vehicle assembly.

This may cause the wheels to detach from the vehicle while driving, resulting in a loss of control.

A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injuries or death to the driver and/or vehicle occupants or other road users.

Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised dealership as soon as possible to have the work carried out, free of charge.
