What's wrong, in plain English
The liftgate is the hatch at the back of the vehicle, and the cover over its hinge is meant to clip into place. On the vehicles being recalled, that hinge cover may not have been clipped in properly and can come off the vehicle. Dealers will inspect the cover and will repair or replace it if it is not secured the way it should be.
What you should do
2. Contact a Jeep dealer to have the liftgate hinge cover inspected; FCA US customer service is 1-800-853-1403 (the recall number is 26D).
3. The inspection and any repair are free.
