Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 63,130 Jeep Cherokee vehicles from model years 2017 through 2019. The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) in these vehicles can become damaged, causing the transmission and differential to disengage. This defect can lead to a sudden loss of drive power while moving or a failure of the 'Park' function, which could allow the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly. Dealers will update the drivetrain control module and PTU software and replace the PTU as necessary free of charge.
A sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle loses its 'Park' function, it can roll away while unattended, posing a significant risk of injury to bystanders or a collision.
Software update and potential component replacement.
FCA recall number 01C; NHTSA Campaign Number 25V011
