JEEP announced a problem with the Cherokee affecting a total of 1,707 vehicles.
The upper control arm ball joints fitted to the nearside and/or offside front suspension may experience a loss of lubricant which can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear and separation whilst driving. If the ball joint separates, directional control will be lost. Vehicles built from 1/5/2002 to 30/9/2002 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. The recalled vehicles will have new front suspension upper control arms fitted the front suspension.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest JEEP dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
