Jeep Cherokee: Suspension

Affects Jeep Cherokee · 2014–2015 — about 5K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the mounting ring loops on rear shock absorbers may fail, allowing one end of the shock absorber to separate from its mounting. This could allow the shock absorber to contact and damage other components such as brake lines and/or tires, which could affect vehicle stability and/or braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect both rear shock absorbers and replace those found to be suspect.
