Jeep Grand Cherokee 1993 model of sport utility vehicles’ 1.6 million units was affected when The Chrysler Group announced a recall for it on February 15,2002. The vehicle could make a sudden shift from park into reverse even if the engine is not running.

 

The dealers will install shift interlock on these cars. Also for the 1993 models, 25,000 are possibly affected by this recall because of eccentric cam adjuster bolts that may fail to attach due assembly misalignment. This failure makes the vehicle pull to one side when braking, which may result to possible loss of control, to accident. 488,369 units more were possibly affected by government safety recalls for the 1993 model.

 

For Jeep Grand Cherokee 1995 model, the recall was due to the parking brake handle release button that may separate from the parking brake handle assembly, making the parking brake not to operate. The potential affected units may be 135,000. For the 1996 model 167,000 are the possible affected vehicle units for the safety recalls, 584,000 units for the 1997 model, and 8,900 for the 1998 Grand Cherokee model.
