## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured May 15, 2015 to February 19, 2016.  The brake transmission shift interlock solenoid may have a loose electrical connection which could result in a loss of solenoid function.


## What can happen

If the solenoid loses function, the transmission may lock in the Park or Neutral position when the vehicle comes to a stop, possibly rendering the vehicle disabled in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shifter assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on May 27, 2016.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is S28.
