The organization will begin sending review warnings to proprietors on June 30.
Stellantis has announced a powered liftgate recall for 132,099 Jeep Cherokees manufactured between 2013 and 2015. As per the US Public Parkway Traffic Security Organization (NHTSA), the issue represents a fire risk, which could harm individuals even outside the minimized hybrid as well as property.
All things considered, the Michigan-based automaker encourages proprietors to leave their impacted vehicles outside until the last fix has been finished. On June 30, 2023, the company will begin sending owners notification letters.
An electrical short in the powered liftgate module could set fire to the vehicle, as stated in the NHTSA's Safety Report Recall document. Regardless of whether the ignition is on or off, there is a spot in the module where water could enter and cause a vehicle fire.
Notably, in 2015, the company recalled 55,687 Jeep Cherokee models due to the same technical issue. The module was then reworked by the manufacturer to be more resistant to water intrusion. Chrysler stated that it is developing a solution now that the issue is reoccurring, but it has not specified a timeframe. However, it is not clear whether the units included in the most recent powered liftgate recall are the same ones that had previously been fixed.
On January 5, 2022, Chrysler opened an examination following a rising number of freight compartment fire reports in 2014–2015 Cherokees. By April 27, 2023, the automaker had distinguished 50 client help records, 23 guarantee cases, and 21 field reports possibly connected with the issue. Luckily, the organization doesn't know about any mishaps or wounds possibly connected with this issue.
Jeep Cherokee proprietors who paid for fixes connected with the matter can submit verification of installment for repayment. They can also check to see if their vehicle is included in the recall by visiting the NHTSA website or calling the Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 and entering their vehicle identification number.
