Key facts

• A fresh recall covers certain 2019–2023 Jeep Cherokee SUVs due to persistent failures in the two-speed power transfer unit (PTU), with U.S. and Canadian bodies listing affected vehicle counts. In the United States, about 61,711 Cherokees are included; Canada adds roughly 20,781 more, for a global tally in the hundreds of thousands when considering prior PTU-related campaigns.[3][4]

This is part of a broader, long-running PTU saga for the Cherokee drivetrain, with recent notices indicating continuing risk and an active recall process.[6][7][3]
