What's wrong, in plain English

Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles because the upper control arm ball joint and steering knuckle may come apart. If this happens, the affected wheel can fall outward instead of staying properly connected to the vehicle. Because the wheel is no longer held in its normal position, the driver can lose control of the vehicle. This separation problem involves parts in the front suspension that are meant to keep the wheel properly attached and steerable while driving.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Jeep dealer to schedule the free repair; FCA US customer service can be reached at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The repair, replacing the upper control arm pinch bolts, is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. 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 24V132000.
