Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty vehicles. The fuel tanks in these vehicles are at risk of failure and leakage in certain rear impacts.
Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Remedy: Owners may take their vehicles to dealers and the dealers will perform a free inspection of the rear structure. On vehicles in the recall that are not equipped with a tow hitch, Chrysler will install a Chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles in the recall that are equipped with an aftermarket tow hitch, Chrysler will assess whether the hitch and surrounding areas show evidence of sharp edges or other puncture risks. If so, Chrysler will replace the tow hitch with a Chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles already equipped with a Chrysler designed tow hitch, Chrysler will inspect the area around the tow hitch installation, and if any installation issues are identified, they will be repaired free of charge. The recall began on August 1, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign numbers are N45 (for the Grand Cherokee vehicles) and N46 (for the Liberty vehicles).

Component: STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
GREASE APPLIED TO THE LIFTGATE LATCH RUBBER BUMPERS TO EASE COMPONENT ASSEMBLY CAUSED THE BUMPER TO SWELL, INTERFERING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE LIFTGATE LATCH PAWL. THIS PREVENTS THE LIFTGATE LATCHING WHEN CLOSED AND DIFFICULT TO OPEN WHEN LATCHED.
Consequence: AN UNLATCHED LIFTGATE CAN OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INMOTION, AND COULD RESULT IN AN OCCUPANT FALLING OUT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE LIFTGATE ASSEMBLY ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE ECCENTRIC CAM ADJUSTER BOLTS IN BOTH FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM-TO-FRONT AXLE BRACKET ATTACHMENTS MAY FAIL DUE TO ASSEMBLY MISALIGNMENT.
Consequence: CAM BOLT FAILURES CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO ONESIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLECONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CAM BOLTS, CAM WASHERS, AND NUTS WITH COMPONENTS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN.
Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, IF A DRIVER HAS NOT PLACED THE SHIFTER LEVER FULLY INTO THE "PARK" POSITION AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE MAY UNEXPECTEDLY MOVE REARWARD AFTER SEEMING TO BE STABLE.
Consequence: INADVERTENT MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SECONDARY DETENT SYSTEM TO THE FLOOR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. DAIMLERCHRYSLER SENT INTERIM NOTICES TO OWNERS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ON MARCH 22, 2002.

Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
THE RETAINER CLIP WHICH SECURES THE MASTER CYLINDER INPUT ROD TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY, AND COULD WORK LOOSE.
Consequence: DISENGAGEMENT OF THE RETAINER CLIP WILL ALLOW FREE PLAYIN THE ATTACHMENT AND CAN ALLOW THE INPUT ROD TO SEPARATE FROM THE BRAKE PEDALCAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE APPLICATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: IMPROPERLY INSTALLED RETAINER CLIPS WILL BE REMOVED AND NEW RETAINER CLIPS WILL BE PROPERLY INSTALLED.
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER AND MULTI-PURPOSE VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, OR WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS CAN EXPERIENCE SEVERE CORROSION IF OPERATED FOR AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD IN THE "SALT BELT." IF THE ROTORS ARE NOT REPLACED, THE CORROSION CAN EVENTUALLY COMPROMISE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE STAMPED STEEL CENTER HUB SECTION OF THE ROTOR.
Consequence: THE REDUCED STRENGTH CAN ALLOW THE CAST IRON WEAR SURFACE TO SEPARATE FROM THE HUB, REDUCING THE BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE ROTORS WITH ROTORS THAT ARE COATED WITH A CORROSION PROTECTION.
Component: SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION 573. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. THE CENTER REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLE MAY NOT BE ACCESSIBLE WHEN THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE OF THE REAR SEAT BACK IS FOLDED DOWN IN THE CARGO STOWAGE POSITION.
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, THE OCCUPANT OF THE CENTER REAR SEAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED AND PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
Component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION 573.

Consequence: PEDAL MISAPPLICATION BY A DRIVER CAN CAUSE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SHIFT INTERLOCK ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF THESE VEHICLES.
Component: STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THE MOLDED PLASTIC PIN WHICH CONNECTS THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN SHAFT AND THE LOWER COLUMN SHAFT MAY HAVE BEEN SHEARED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY INTO THE VEHICLE. IF THIS OCCURRED, THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT WILL SEPARATE FROM THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT.
Consequence: IF THE UPPER AND LOWER STEERING SHAFTS SEPARATE, COMPLETELOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WILL OCCUR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: A RESTRAINING SLEEVE WILL BE ADDED TO THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF STEERING SHAFT MOVEMENT AVAILABLE.
I OWN A 1993 JEEP CHEROKEE AND THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER ON THE DRIVER SIDE LOCKED UP ON JULY 4, 2017, WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN, ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER BEING STARTED, WITHOUT ANY HARD BRAKING. THE NEXT DAY THE CALIPER WAS REPLACED. TODAY, 9/28/2017, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER CAR BEING STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK, A SHIMMY DEVELOPED. WHEN I GOT TO WORK A FEW MILES LATER, THE CALIPER WAS LOCKED AGAIN AND WAS SMOKING. IN 1998, WHILE DRIVING MY FATHER'S 1993 JEEP CHEROKEE (NOT THE SAME ONE I NOW OWN), THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER LOCKED ONTO THE TIRE AND CAUSED A LOT OF SMOKE. I ASSUMED IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AT THE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS WILL GO WRONG WITH OLDER VEHICLES IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BEING USED AND BECOMING WORN, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON POINT OF FAILURE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR THAT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLES WERE STILL RELATIVELY NEW. BRAKE PROBLEMS ARE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THING TO OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION, AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, SO I FEEL THIS MERITS BEING REPORTED BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN STRONG AND RELIABLE, AND I STILL SEE SO MANY OF THEM OUT ON THE HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. I CLICKED "NEXT" AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS, "WAS THERE A FIRE?" I AM GOING TO CLICK YES BECAUSE THERE WAS A COPIOUS AMOUNT OF SMOKE BUT WANT TO CLARIFY HERE THAT THERE WERE NO FLAMES THAT I SAW.
I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE ONE DAY AND I PULLED INTO A STALL AND TRYD TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHEN IT WAS LOCKED IN GEAR I THEN PULLED THE E BRAKE PULLED THE SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH WITH PRESSURE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AND SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AND THEN TO PARK I ASSUMED IT WAS IN PARK I RELEASEED THE E BRAKE AND RELEASED BRAKES AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD IN PARK
