Buying a used 2020 Jeep Cherokee? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 292 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee has 3 recalls in this group: steering-rack gear breakage, power-transfer-unit failure, and a backup-camera image that may remain on the screen. The mechanical recalls warrant attention alongside the camera correction. NHTSA lists 292 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, with 167 involving the power train, 39 the engine, and 34 the electrical system. The power-train complaint concentration makes documented drivetrain diagnosis and repair history especially relevant.

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 completion of the steering-rack recall.
3. Confirm power-transfer-unit recall repairs and request drivetrain records.
4. Check that the backup-camera image clears after reversing.
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.
