| Description |
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty vehicles. The fuel tanks in these vehicles are at risk of failure and leakage in certain rear impacts. |
| Consequences |
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. |
| Corrective action |
Owners may take their vehicles to dealers and the dealers will perform a free inspection of the rear structure. On vehicles in the recall that are not equipped with a tow hitch, Chrysler will install a Chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles in the recall that are equipped with an aftermarket tow hitch, Chrysler will assess whether the hitch and surrounding areas show evidence of sharp edges or other puncture risks. If so, Chrysler will replace the tow hitch with a Chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles already equipped with a Chrysler designed tow hitch, Chrysler will inspect the area around the tow hitch installation, and if any installation issues are identified, they will be repaired free of charge. The recall began on August 1, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign numbers are N45 (for the Grand Cherokee vehicles) and N46 (for the Liberty vehicles). |

I do own a 2005 Jeep Liberty. I have had the rear end replaced twice. The transfer case replaced. When I fill it with gas, the gas comes back out and spills all over me and my clothes so I cannot fill it full. I paid over $600 to have the front control arm replaced and tomorrow I am taking it in for a recall on both rear suspension lower control arms. Now I have read that Chryslers resolution to the rear end fires and explosions that are killing people is to install a freakin trailer hitch on these vehicles!!! I think if Chrysler had an ounce of decency they would recall these vehicles and admit their mistake.
