The 2021 Jeep Cherokee recalls
The first recall began in October 2020. Although much smaller (affecting 698 vehicles), the potential for accident and injury was much higher. Thankfully, the defect was caught early by the assembly plant and no one reported any problems related to the faulty part before the recall. Owners were already contacted by the manufacturer in early November 2020.
How to protect yourself from the unexpected
If your Cherokee is part of the latest recall, you’ll need to bring it in to the dealership to get checked out. The dealer’s mechanics should inspect and replace the hose free of charge. Participating in recalls is extremely important. Recalls cost manufacturers a lot of money and are usually only reserved for serious safety concerns. Luckily, all repairs related to recalls are free, so you don’t have to worry about paying the high prices expected from dealership maintenance and repairs.
