What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles built between October 3, 2015 and March 22, 2016 may have a right halfshaft that was incorrectly manufactured. The shaft can fracture without warning.
If the halfshaft breaks, it may disconnect from the drive axle, which increases the risk of a crash. Drivers may lose control of the vehicle with no advance sign of a problem, so the danger is sudden.
Chrysler will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the right halfshaft free of charge. You can also contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, and check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
