Stellantis Recalls 219,000 jeep Cherokees Worldwide, including 23,000 in canada
• A short circuit could occur in the control module of the power liftgates.Stellantis is recalling just over 219,000 Jeep Cherokees worldwide due to a fire risk related to the power tailgate. The company is even recommending that owners park their vehicles outside and away from structures until repairs are made.The affected vehicles are from the 2014-2016 model years, the first three of this new generation of Cherokee.
What’s troublesome is that this is the third recall for this problem since 2015. Previously repaired vehicles will have to be repaired again, according to a filing with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , the equivalent of Transport Canada. The automaker said “owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete.” Stellantis is still working on the repair and notification letters to owners are expected to be sent on June 30.
In addition to the 23,000 vehicles in Canada, another 132,000 units are in the United States, 3,000 in Mexico and 60,500 elsewhere in the world.
