What is being recalled
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles manufactured July 29, 2013, to February 5, 2016. The seat fasteners on the first or second row seats may not have been tightened to the proper torque specification.
Why it is dangerous
Loose fasteners may allow the seats to move, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupants in the event of a crash.
