Recall notice for the 2018 JGC Trackhawk
Attached Is a picture of the, January 18 2018 Recall / stop sale Notice on the 2018 JeepGrand Cherokee Trackhawks. I found this circulating on Facebook. It looks pretty legitimate from the FCA to the dealerships. It’s states that they can get a $21,000 a day fine if they do not follow this notice.( stop sale of vehicle, until it is fixed)
I’m new to this , this is my first time posting on this forum I live in the Toronto area, Canada. I just registered today to this forum.
I just don’t understand why this vehicle was released with such a problem. From what I read, isn’t this the same problem that the 2015/16 chargers & challengers with the same hellcat engine had as well? One with think that they would be careful releasing this vehicle with the same engine and my rectifying this issue. Reputation is everything. Especially on a new model year, that is , with the hellcat engine in this Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Don’t give me wrong I love this vehicle, in fact I have one on order, but I am a little bit upset at the fact that more care was not put into releasing such a high-profile vehicle And such a high price vehicle. It took years for them to finally bring this out, and to bring it out with an issue with that other vehicles the the same engine had ...just really boggles my mind.
I’m still waiting for my Trackhawk (its in “D” status). I ordered it in Late September. I’m Still excited. I hope they fix this issue on mine before they deliver to me. Anything involving fuel especially on or near the hot engine is very serious. It says that this fuel line separation from the 6.2L Hellcat engine, results in vehicle stalling and/or fire in the engine compartment. Please stay safe. If you own a Trackhawk already, or picking one up...get checked for this issue immediately.
At least there is a recall/stop sale notice of this vehicle before a tragedy happened, as far as I know. I can’t wait to get my new track hawk, but I want to ensure that it is 100% safe before I put my family into this vehicle. I hope they fix this issue quickly and thorougly . I’m glad that they are recalling this vehicle. The last thing I want when I own this vehicle is the reputation of the track hawk being a “fire”hawk.Thank God they are trying to fix this prior to any of them catching on fire.
