## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles and 2018 Chrysler Pacifica non\-hybrid vehicles.  A component in the transmission may not have been welded properly, possibly causing the transmission to not transmit engine power to the wheels.


## What can happen

If the transmission weld fails, the vehicle will stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin September 2018.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is U85.
