What's wrong, in plain English

Some 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles have an instrument cluster that may fail. If it does, the warning chimes, messages, and gauges that give the driver information about the vehicle will not activate. Dealers will inspect the instrument cluster and replace it as necessary.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Chrysler dealer, or call Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V917000.
