Jeep Australia Recalls Over 7000 Vehicles

Effected Vehicles - 2002 to 2004 Jeep KJ Cherokee and WG Grand Cherokee
Jeep Australia have announced a National recall of these vehicles as part of an international recall.
The potential computer malfunction can force “the front airbags, side curtain airbags, and/or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated,'' the recall notice said. While the faulty airbags could potentially cause an accident, no injuries have been reported in more than 200 cases worldwide where airbags inadvertently released – including one in Australia. 



Fiat Chrysler Group Australia is writing to affected owners but conceded said limited availability of parts in Australia will delay repairs until March for the Cherokee and August for the Grand Cherokee.

Customers with any queries are asked to contact a Jeep dealer or call the Jeep Customer Service centre on 1300 133 079.
