Why did Chrysler order a recall on Jeeps?

Takata Airbag Inflator Recall

In 2015, Chrysler recalled over 1.4 million Jeep vehicles due to a defect with the Takata airbag inflators. The inflators could rupture and send metal fragments flying into the vehicle, posing a serious safety risk to occupants. The recall affected Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, and Wrangler models from 2002 to 2007, as well as the Compass, Patriot, and Commander models from 2007 to 2011.

Fuel Pump Recall

In 2016, Chrysler recalled over 1 million Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from 2011 to 2014 due to a potential issue with the fuel pump. The pump could fail, causing the vehicle to stall or lose power while driving. The recall also affected some Dodge Durango and Chrysler 300 models.

Headlight Switch Recall

In 2018, Chrysler recalled over 650,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2018 to 2019 due to a defect with the headlight switch. The switch could overheat and melt, causing the headlights to fail. The recall also affected some Dodge Chargers and Challengers.

These are just a few examples of the recalls that Chrysler has ordered for Jeep vehicles. The company has a history of issuing recalls for safety-related defects, and it is important for owners to be aware of these recalls and to take appropriate action to have their vehicles repaired or replaced.
