Idaho Loves Jeeps – There Is A New Recall?
Idaho loves Jeeps, I've lived in 4 different states and I've never seen as many Jeeps as I see in Idaho. A jeep is the perfect vehicle for exploring the mountains and deserts that Idaho has to offer so it makes sense. The occasional snow storm or icy road is no match for a Jeep and that's just another reason why we love them. I own a Jeep Rubicon myself so I'm guilty as charged which is why I wanted to share this recall with my fellow Jeep owners. This particular recall is not for the Wrangler or Rubicon, this one affects Cherokees from the 2014 through 2017 model years.
According to ktvb when you put the car in park, the transmission may not go there and the vehicle can roll away. Additionally, Gear teeth in a device that automatically changes from all-wheel-drive to front-wheel-drive can wear off and cut power to the front wheels. Dealers will reprogram the software to send power to the rear wheels if the teeth wear out. The software also will turn on the parking brake if a driver shifts into park. Owners will get notices around July 31.
In the name of safety first I suggest you call your local dealer asap.
