Jeep Cherokee Recall 2019: More Than 100,000 SUVs Recalled For A Clutch Issue

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said it has not received any reports of injury or death from the clutch issue.

The company said it is working on a resolution to fix the defect and will be sending recall notifications to Jeep Cherokee owners when the repair is ready. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles told Roadshow that notices should start arriving around Aug. 2.
