Jeep issued a recall for 61,711 Cherokee SUVs because the two-speed power transfer unit in the transmission might have a catastrophic failure. The recall covers a population of Cherokees from the 2019–2023 model years, with associated documents estimating that 0.5 percent have the defect. Jeep has already notified dealers of the issue and will send interim owner notification letters in June, as the automaker is still working on a permanent fix.
