Recall Alert: 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 32,000 model-year 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs
The Problem: Wire-harness terminals may lose their electrical connections and the vehicle’s shifter may become locked in Park or Neutral once the vehicle is stopped. An investigation by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles traced the cause to supplied wiring harnesses, some of which may have been incorrectly crimped, the automaker stated. FCA said it is unaware of any injuries or accidents related to this issue, nor is the issue related to any previous recall.
The Fix: FCA will address the wire-harness terminal’s electrical connection. Until repairs are made, the automaker advised owners to use the parking brake when exiting their vehicles.
What Owners Should Do: The automaker did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call FCA at 800-853-1403 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
