Buying a used 2018 Jeep Cherokee? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 683 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee has 7 recalls in this group, covering oil-pump failure, fuel leakage, cruise control that may not cancel, stalling, and drivetrain problems involving drive loss or rollaway. The tire-and-rim label correction is an administrative item within that record. NHTSA lists 683 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 292 involving the power train, 190 electrical-system reports, and 155 engine reports. Drivetrain repair history deserves particular attention alongside recall completion.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify VIN-specific drivetrain, halfshaft, and oil-pump recall repairs.
3. Confirm fuel-tube, stalling, and cruise-control recall completion.
4. Ask for records of transmission, engine, and electrical faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
