Stellantis is recalling more than 132,000 Jeep Cherokee vehicles
in the U.S. because an electrical short in the power liftgate
module could lead to a fire.
The automaker said it is advising owners of 2014 to 2016
vehicles to park them outside and away from structures until the
recall repair is complete, adding that fires could occur with the
ignition on or off.
Stellantis said the vehicles, built between February 2013 and
September 2015, had power liftgate modules that were vulnerable to
water intrusion, making them susceptible to electrical shorts.
The company said it has identified 50 customer assistance
records, 23 warranty claims and 21 field reports potentially
related to the issue, but that it isn't aware of any accidents or
injuries.
Stellantis said the remedy is currently under development.
