Stellantis, the Chrysler parent company, remembers more than 63,000 Jeep Cherokees due to a defect that reasons cars to lose strength and prevent parking, expanding the threat of an accident, according to a retreat made on Wednesday through the system of National Protection of Highway Administration.

A loss of park function can cause an unintended vehicle rollaway, which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.”
Though drivers may experience “a Service 4WD message, noise, vibration or change in drive quality,” the manufacturer cautions that “a loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.”
