Jeep Cherokee Recall 19V248: Loose Passenger Seat Bolts Can Shift Seat in a Crash

NHTSA campaign 19V248, reported March 28, 2019, 253 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles may have loose mounting bolts on the front passenger seat. The seat can then move out of position during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the passenger.

Because the seat may not stay securely anchored in a collision, the risk is injury to the front passenger. Owners should treat this as a safety issue and have the vehicle checked promptly.

The repair is free at an authorized Jeep dealer, where the mounting bolts will be tightened. Owners can check whether their vehicle is affected by entering the VIN at the NHTSA or manufacturer recall lookup, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (Chrysler recall number V31).
