What could be causing my Jeep 3.6 ticking noise?

My Jeep makes a really annoying ticking noise when I start the engine. It goes away eventually, but I’m concerned. What could be causing my Jeep 3.6 ticking noise?

Your Jeep 3.6 ticking noise may be caused by the V6 Pentastar engine—or it could just be low oil.
There is a class action lawsuit for the V6 Pentastar engine. You’re not the only driver who noticed that ticking noise!
Start by getting an oil change and see if that resolves the issue. If not, contact your
Jeep
dealership for more information.
