Chrysler is recalling approximately 132,099 of its 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a power liftgate. An electrical short can occur within the power liftgate module, which could cause the vehicle to catch fire regardless of whether the ignition is on or off. This recall replaces previous attempts to fix the issue, and owners who had their vehicles repaired under prior recalls 15V-393 and 15V-826 must have this new repair performed.
The power liftgate module can experience an electrical short-circuit, leading to a vehicle fire while the car is driving or parked. Because the fire can start while the vehicle is parked and the engine is off, it poses a significant risk to nearby structures and occupants.
You have 3 options:
Precautionary parking instruction
Relocation and protection of the liftgate module
Replacement of damaged electrical components
