Jeep Commander Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles, the ignition key may not fully return to the RUN position from the START position once the key is released after starting the vehicle. This could affect various vehicle electrical functions, and also cause an unintended change in ignition switch position, which could cause the engine to stall. This would result in a loss of motive power and affect functioning of the power steering and power braking assist systems as well as other safety systems including airbags. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module (i.e. ignition switch) and FOBIKs (keys).
Summary
On certain vehicles, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the driver unintentionally bumps the ignition key with their knee. An unintended change in ignition switch position while driving may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicle’s safety features including the frontal airbags. Correction: Dealers will replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder. Important note: Until the correction is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from the key ring.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, the transfer case controller could fail. This could cause the transfer case to shift into or through the neutral position, which may allow the vehicle to roll away, even with the transmission in the PARK position. Should the vehicle roll away, it could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the final drive controller with updated software.
Summary
On certain vehicles that were not equipped with a factory sunroof, the supplemental side airbag inflatable curtain may not position properly during inflation. The side curtain airbag will still timely deploy and meet and exceed applicable safety standards. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket and foam block behind the "B" pillar upper trim cover to improve side curtain airbag positioning in the event of a deployment. This action is a Customer Satisfaction Campaign and is not being conducted as per the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Summary
Certain vehicles equipped with automatic transmission may have been built with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module exhibiting a binding condition of the solenoid latch. This may result in a condition where the Ignition key can be removed from the WIN module prior to placing the shifter in PARK. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, which may cause property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the WIN module.
Summary
Certain vehicles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear track bar. This could result in noise and reduced vehicle stability, which may cause a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace affected track bars.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the brake booster input rod may have been installed without the retaining clip, or in some cases, with an improperly formed retaining clip. Should the input rod separate from the assembly it could lead to a loss of brakes, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install or replace the retaining clips.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the driver airbag squib wires on the steering column control module (SCCM) may be reversed. As a result, the driver airbag may not deploy as intended which can increase the risk of driver injury or death during a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the SCCM.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a 4.7L engine, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) contains software that may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the PCM.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the front control module may have been manufactured incorrectly. This could cause the engine to stall while driving, or not to start, and/or cause the windshield wipers to become inoperative. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front control module and replace it if necessary.
