1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Defect. 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.

Risk. 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).

Defect. 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.

Risk. 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.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION 573. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. DRIVERS CAN MISTAKENLY STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THEY INTEND TO STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.

Risk. PEDAL MISAPPLICATION BY A DRIVER CAN CAUSE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SHIFT INTERLOCK ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF THESE VEHICLES.

Defect. 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.

Risk. 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.

Defect. 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.

Risk. 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.

Defect. 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.

Risk. 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.

THE UPPER AND LOWER STEERING SHAFTS SEPARATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER RECALL #604 (RECALL 93V210000) WHERE A PLASTIC PIN HOLDING THE SHAFTS TOGETHER WAS SHEARED IN SPECIFIC JEEP MODELS. THE PLASTIC PIN IN MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PRESENT AND THERE WAS NOTHING PREVENTING THE UPPER AND LOWER STEERING SHAFTS FROM SEPARATING, CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF STEERING. THERE COULD BE A FATAL ACCIDENT RESULTING IN THIS IF THE SHAFTS SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING. THE RECALL SHOULD STILL BE PENDING FOR ALL 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. IT IS UNREASONABLE FOR CHRYSLER TO CEASE THIS RECALL, AS IT IS VERY LIKELY TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF WOULD OCCUR. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE REAR OF THE JEEP BEGAN SMOKING. WE PULLED OVER AND IMMEDIATELY THE JEEP BURST INTO FLAMES. WE GRABBED A SUIT CASE AND GOT AWAY FROM IT. THE FUEL TANK EXPLODED AND THE ENTIRE JEEP WAS ENGULFED IN FLAME AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. WE WERE MOVING SO WE HAD MOST OF OUR PERSONAL POSSESSIONS IN IT. OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING WAS LOST. THE INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE COSTS OF TOWING. MY TOW BILL ALONE WAS OVER $700. WE HAVE NOT EVEN TOTALED THE LOSS OF OUR PERSONAL PROPERTY. *TR

BACKING UP SLOWLY OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD BANG LIKE A BOLT BREAKING. IMMEDIATELY LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER RIGHT AND SOMEWHAT LEFT. HAD CAR TOWED TO GARAGE AND TECH SAID STEERING BOX BROKE AND SUPPORT BOLTS SNAPPED OFF AND DAMAGED RADIATOR AS WELL. GLAD THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD AT SPEED, COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD WRECK. *TR
