Chrysler has issued a recall for around 338,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees due to a potentially faulty steering component. The recall primarily affects vehicles from model years 2011-2013.
According to reports, the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 engine found in these models could potentially have a faulty valve spring within the engine that could break, leading to an engine stall and/or a failure to start. In extreme cases, this could cause an accident, particularly if the failure occurs while the vehicle is in motion.
Owners of affected vehicles are advised to take their vehicle to their nearest Jeep dealership where the issue will be fixed free of charge. If you own one of these models and haven’t received a recall notice, you may want to reach out to your local dealer or the Chrysler brand’s customer service for more information.
Safety is a top priority, and recalls like these should be taken seriously. Driving a vehicle that might be affected by this recall until you can have the necessary repairs performed could potentially be dangerous.
