## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Jeep Cherokee vehicles manufactured January 4, 2013, to February 18, 2015 and equipped with a Power Liftgate option.  In the affected vehicles, water may enter the Power Liftgate Control Module and cause a high resistance short circuit in the module.


## What can happen

A short circuit in the liftgate control module may result in a fire.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power liftgate control module and connectors for corrosion, substitute a bolt for the threaded grommet installed to seal an attachment point used in non\-power liftgate vehicles and cover the power liftgate control module in a foam water shield, free of charge.  The recall began on October 26, 2015.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is R27. This recall is superseded by NHTSA recall 23V\-338.
