Fiat Chrysler Recalls 164,000 Jeep Cherokee SUVs
Fiat Chrysler is recalling 164,000 Jeep Cherokee SUVs worldwide to install shields that stop water from getting into the power rear lift gate controls.
The company says the recall covers the 2014 and 2015 model years. It addresses a problem that could cause a fire.
Fiat Chrysler says it learned of one fire and found that water can get into the lift gate control modules on some Cherokees and cause an electrical short. No injuries have been reported.
The company says it will notify customers when they can schedule service. In addition to the shields, Fiat Chrysler will replace control modules that have been exposed to water.
Fiat Chrysler says that until repairs are made, owners of Cherokees with power lift gates should check cargo areas to make sure they are dry.
