The iconic Jeep Cherokee, once a staple of American roads, ceased production at the Belvidere Assembly Plant in February 2023. Despite this, the vehicle remains available for configuration on Jeep’s website, while FCA US LLC has issued a safety recall for select 2022 models (12,221 vehicles) due to a turn signal malfunction.
The issue, related to the steering column control module supplied by BCS Automotive Interface Solutions, prompted action from FCA US LLC following notification in July 2022. Concerns arose regarding the turn signal lever’s failure to latch during right-hand turns, posing a potential safety hazard.
Investigations by the Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance organization revealed the need for corrective measures, with affected vehicles assembled between February and June 2022. Owners can expect notification of the recall and arrangements for necessary repairs, emphasizing FCA US LLC’s commitment to ensuring vehicle safety.
