Posted on: 2020-06-11
Description
Chrysler (fca us llc) is recalling certain 2014-2017 jeep cherokee vehicles equipped with a two-speed power transfer unit (ptu).

Consequence
A loss of drive can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A loss of the park function can cause unintended vehicle rollaway which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
