ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

Manufacturer
Chrysler Group LLC
What Happened
The ignition switch in your Jeep is a critical part that helps keep your airbag system working properly. In some 2005-2007 Grand Cherokee and 2006-2007 Commander models, the switch is too easily knocked out of position by your knee while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ignition key accidentally moves out of the run position while you're driving, your engine will shut off, and your airbags, power steering, and power brakes won't work. This could increase the risk of a crash and serious injury.
Free Fix
Your authorized Jeep dealer will replace the faulty ignition switch with a new one at no cost to you. Just wait for the recall notice and schedule a repair to ensure your safety on the road.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
SABERSPORT
What Happened
The combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that turn with your wheels and illuminate the road. Some aftermarket versions of these lights don't meet safety standards because they're missing a crucial amber reflector.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the amber reflector, your vehicle's lights may not be as visible to other drivers, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
