Recall 93V055000
Structure › Body › Hatchback/liftgate — Jeep · reported 8 Apr 1993 · 80,000 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
GREASE APPLIED TO THE LIFTGATE LATCH RUBBER BUMPERS TO EASE COMPONENT ASSEMBLY CAUSED THE BUMPER TO SWELL, INTERFERING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE LIFTGATE LATCH PAWL. THIS PREVENTS THE LIFTGATE LATCHING WHEN CLOSED AND DIFFICULT TO OPEN WHEN LATCHED.
The risk
AN UNLATCHED LIFTGATE CAN OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INMOTION, AND COULD RESULT IN AN OCCUPANT FALLING OUT.
The fix
REPLACE THE LIFTGATE ASSEMBLY ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
SYSTEM: STRUCTURE; LIFT GATE.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: UTILITY VEHICLES; MODEL GRAND CHEROKEE AND GRAND WAGONEER.
