570,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango recalled over fire concerns

Fiat Chrysler is recalling up to 570,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs for potential wiring issues that could result in a fire. This recall is for 352,831 total units in the US, another 26,478 in Canada, 13,037 in Mexico, and 84,330 internationally. No injuries or deaths have been reported. FCA says it will inform customers as to when they can schedule a service visit to remedy the issue.

For the Jeeps, it involves 2011 and 2012 models of the Grand Cherokee with vanity mirror wiring that could cause a fire. The Durango recall involves 60,107 examples of the Jeep Compass and Patriot from the 2015 model year in the US, plus 5,755 in Canada, 3,351 in Mexico, and 23,995 in other markets. Those models could suffer from an out-of-position clamp on the power steering fluid line.

Carmaker reports no injuries or accidents, and will advise customers when to head to the dealer for service.
