Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles because the ignition key can accidentally move into the OFF or ACCESSORY position if the driver's knee strikes it. When this happens, the engine shuts off and critical safety systems including airbags, power steering, and power braking lose power, which increases the risk of a crash or injury during a crash.
Chrysler will replace the ignition switch at no cost. Owners should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to arrange the repair. Until the recall is completed, owners should adjust their driver's seat to create clearance between their knee and the ignition key and remove all items from their key ring except the vehicle key.

If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key.
