Engine and cooling
Engine cooling fan blade failure
The defect: On certain sport utility vehicles, the plastic blades of the electric motor driven cooling fan may separate and penetrate the shroud.
The risk: If this occurs while the hood is open, a person in the vicinity of the engine could be struck by the blade and injured.
The remedy: Dealers will replace the electric cooling fan modules free of charge. The recall began on september 4, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
-
Fuel system
Daimlerchrysler/debris in manifold
The defect: On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with a 4.0l engine only, the design of the intake and exhaust manifolds could allow debris to accumulate at the #3 cylinder location.
The risk: This could result in a vehicle fire.
The remedy: Dealers will install a manifold shield to modify the air flow characteristics and to prevent the accumulation of debris in the area of the #3 cylinder. Owner notification began may 13, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
-
Fuel system
Daimlerchrysler/fuel tank/vent tube welds
The defect: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles may have been built with fuel tanks with suspect vent tube welds.
The risk: Separation of the vent tube weld could result in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The remedy: Dealers will replace any fuel tanks built in the suspect time period. The vehicle will be inspected and if the bar code on the fuel tank indicates that the tank was built during the suspect period, it will be replaced.
-
Seat belts
Daimlerchrysler/seat belt mounting bolts
The defect: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The seat belt shoulder height adjustable turning loop (atl) top mounting bolt was inadequately manufactured.
The risk: The affected mounting bolts may not withstand sufficient force to function properly in certain impact situations, increasing the risk of injury to a belted occupant.
The remedy: Dealers will replace the shoulder belt height adjuster mounting bolts.
-
Air bags
Daimlerchrysler/front passenger air bag
The defect: Vehicle description: passenger and sport utility vehicles. The passenger air bag inflator assembly contains an incorrect inflator charge amount.
The risk: This condition could increase the risk of a passenger occupant injury under certain accident conditions.
The remedy: Dealers will replace the air bag module with a correct module.
-
Steering
Daimlerchrysler/steering gear stops
The defect: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Some steering gear units were assembled with internal end-of-travel-stops that missed the heat treat process, resulting in soft internal travel stops.
The risk: This could result in sticking, binding, or seizing of the steering gear.
The remedy: Dealers will replace the steering gear on involved vehicles.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every Grand Cherokee built in 2000. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
What 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners should do
- Check your VIN on NHTSA’s lookup to see which of these campaigns apply to your vehicle and whether any are still open.
- Call a Jeep dealer and book the repair, quoting the campaign numbers.
- If you have bought the vehicle used, the recall still applies: the repair is free whoever owns the vehicle now.
- Make sure your current address is on file with the manufacturer so the owner letters reach you.
