Buying a used 2022 Jeep Cherokee? Check these 3 recalls first
The lightest record of the Cherokee years listed: three recalls, with the power transfer unit rollaway defect the notable one, alongside turn signals that may not cancel automatically and an unsecured right curtain airbag connector. Only 49 owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA — unverified reports — though they include three crashes and five injuries. Roughly half concern the power train, the same area that dominates the older model years.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm the power transfer unit recall was completed and ask whether the vehicle ever moved while in Park.
- Signal several turns during the test drive and confirm the indicator cancels on its own.
- Ask about any driveline noise, vibration or transmission repairs, given how many complaints are power train.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
