The Wagoneer shows Jeep is serious about staking its claim in the market for full-size SUVs with three-row seating: this model finally puts Jeep in the running against established big truck-based SUVs from its key domestic rivals and a handful of import models. Not only can the Wagoneer move people comfortably in three rows of seats, but it also boasts impressive towing capacity and big power from a range of engines.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the steering column control module may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the driver-front airbag may not inflate in a crash.
Note: This problem would cause the airbag warning light to turn on.
Safety Risk:
An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering column control module.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the third-row seat belt buckles may not be accessible or may have been damaged during production. As a result, a passenger may not be able to buckle the seat belt.
Safety Risk:
Not wearing a seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
FCA will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the third-row seat belt buckle(s).
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image to not appear on the display screen. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the central vision processing/park assist module software.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the upper B-pillar trim may not be installed correctly. As a result, the side curtain airbags may not inflate properly in a crash.
Safety Risk:
A side curtain airbag that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the upper B-pillar trim pieces. The technician will reinstall or replace the trim pieces, as necessary.
Issue:
On a small number of vehicles, the pull strap for the second-row center seat recliner may stick on the seat trim. If this happens, the seatback may not lock in the upright position and could move in a crash.
Safety Risk:
A seatback that moves in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, replace the second-row center seat recliner strap.
