Description of the problem | Safety recall listed below. Notified 2 months ago. This can cause a crash without warning! I am not comfortable driving a vehicle that could cause serious bodily injury/death to myself or anyone else. Vin: [xxx] year: 2014 make: jeep model: cherokee limited fwd number of open recalls: 1 nhtsa recall number: opens new window takes away from vin lookup section> 16v529 recall date: august 22, 2016 manufacturer recall number: s55 summary: the transaxle wire harness on your vehicle may have been built with insufficient wire terminal crimp(s). This may cause an intermittent high electrical resistance in the transaxle wire harness circuit(s). A high resistance circuit(s) in this wiring harness will cause the on-board diagnostic system to set a diagnostic trouble code (dtc). When the dtc is set, the system defaults the transaxle to neutral and the customer experiences a loss of motive power. Safety risk: the loss of motive power could cause a crash without warning. Remedy: the transmission control module (tcm) must be reprogrammed with new software. The new software strategy will eliminate the transaxle shift-to-neutral condition for this issue, place the transaxle in a fixed gear limp mode and illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) if a high resistance circuit is detected in the transaxle wire harness. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
