What is being recalled
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles and 2018 Chrysler Pacifica non-hybrid vehicles. A component in the transmission may not have been welded properly, possibly causing the transmission to not transmit engine power to the wheels.
Why it is dangerous
If the transmission weld fails, the vehicle will stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U85.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-492 when calling a dealer.
