emissions fire

Reason for the recall:

The exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) cooler can be susceptible to thermal fatigue. The exhaust gases can interact with air and other hydrocarbons in the system, which can cause combustion in the inlet manifold. This can lead the vehicle to catch fire.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 9 October 2018 and 2 June 2020.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Jeep dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.

After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
