Voluntary Jeep Cherokee Recall by FCA

After receiving information that a Jeep Cherokee caught fire due to faulty lift-gate mechanism Fiat Chrysler Automobiles began an investigation as to what caused the SUV to catch fire. They found that the power lift gates could be inadvertently exposed to water which can lead to a fire. FCA has voluntarily recalled 164,000 Jeep Cherokees model year 2014-2015  to have shields installed to keep  water away from the power mechanism. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to this issue.
