Chrysler issued a recall for more than 60,000 model year 2017-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles over concerns they could suffer a loss of drive power and/or park function, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The recall involves certain model year 2017-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles produced between Oct. 11, 2016, and Feb. 20, 2019.
Chrysler said it is concerned the recalled Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles’ power transfer unit could become damaged and disengage the vehicles’ transmission and differential, leading to the aforementioned problems.
“A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. A loss of park function can cause an unintended vehicle rollaway, which can increase the risk of a crash or injury,” the recall says.

34 thoughts onRecall issued for Jeep Cherokee due to potential snap ring defect
I own a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I have experienced multiple malfunctions costing me an enormous amount of money all due to this 01C recall. Three separate Mechanics have stated that the problem is causing a domino affect on several other functions of the vehicle and until the problem is fixed the whole vehicle is just getting worse and very unsafe to drive. I have no choice, it is my only means of transportation I have no money and no outside support other than myself. I use my vehicle to make money so if I don’t have it I cannot take care of myself or my responsibilities. I have done everything under the sun to fight this and have had no success. I fear it may end fatal before they respond. RIP to me and my jeep ya know….
