Is my product affected?

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

  • Brand JEEP

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Chrysler is recalling certain 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured between January 8, 2013, and August 20, 2013. These vehicles may experience a loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function due to disrupted computer communications and loose alternator ground wires. This loss of function reduces the driver's ability to control the vehicle and prevents warning lights from displaying on the dashboard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753 or reference recall campaign number N58 when contacting a dealer.
