After initially refusing to recall 2.7 million Jeeps following a NTHSA warning about fire danger, Chrysler has reversed course. They are now asking that owners of 1993 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Jeep Libertys bring the vehicles in for inspection.

“As a result of the agreement, Chrysler Group will conduct a voluntary campaign with respect to the vehicles in question that, in addition to a visual inspection of the vehicle will, if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts.

Chrysler Group’s analysis of the data confirms that these vehicles are not defective and are among the safest in the peer group. Nonetheless, Chrysler Group recognizes that this matter has raised concerns for its customers and wants to take further steps, in coordination with NHTSA, to provide additional measures to supplement the safety of its vehicles.

Chrysler Group regards safety as a paramount concern and does not compromise on the safety of our customers and their families.”
