FCA Australia has recalled the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee to fix a problem with the tail lights.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the rear tail lamps may not illuminate as intended,” it says in its recall notice.
“If this occurs during dark conditions, the traffic behind will have reduced visibility and may not be able to identify the vehicle.”
“If the traffic behind is unable to identify the vehicle, it could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
- A total of 84 vehicles are included in the recall
- The original recall notice is attached here
- A VIN list of affected vehicles is attached here
FCA Australia will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
