What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a defect that increases the risk of a crash due to reduced visibility, which fits the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2014, non-SRT trimmed Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured between January 14, 2013, and March 20, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with premium headlamps. The recall affects 4,242 vehicles.
In the affected vehicles, electrical spikes may occur when switching between daytime running lights and parking lights. This can cause the parking lamps to turn off. Without properly functioning parking lamps, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. This defect may reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the Central Body Controller software free of charge. The recall began on September 12, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
