By component

United States: NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19
14V4380002014-07-21. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine. Built 2004-02-11 to 2007-07-05.
13V1750002013-05-07. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE). Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, through March 9, 2010; and 2006-2010 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, through March 10, 2010. A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position. Built 2004-02-11 to 2010-03-09.
05V3960002005-09-14. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT. Built 2004-05-01 to 2005-06-02.
Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
20143122014-07-23. Electrical. On certain vehicles, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the driver unintentionally bumps the ignition key with their knee. An unintended change in ignition switch position while driving may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicle’s safety features including the frontal airbags. Correction: Dealers will replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder. Important note: Until the correction is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from the key ring.
20131552013-05-08. Powertrain. On certain vehicles equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, the transfer case controller could fail. This could cause the transfer case to shift into or through the neutral position, which may allow the vehicle to roll away, even with the transmission in the PARK position. Should the vehicle roll away, it could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the final drive controller with updated software.
20052642005-09-09. Powertrain. On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.7L engine and automatic transmission, water from the air conditioner evaporator drain tube may enter the transmission at the fill tube grommet seal. This can result in shudder during torque converter clutch engagement which, if ignored by the operator, could lead to increased transmission operating temperatures, boiling of the water, and a subsequent purging of transmission fluid into the engine compartment that could lead to a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the transmission for leakage at the fill tube grommet seal. If no leak is detected, a new fill tube grommet seal and water deflector shield will be installed, and proper alignment of the fill tube verified. If the presence of a leak is detected, the vehicle will be evaluated for a shudder condition and based on the evaluation, the transmission will either be triple flushed or the torque converter replaced as required and a new grommet seal and water deflector will be installed.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
