2018 (WK) Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and Trackhawk
IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement toapply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. |
Subject
The driver floor mat on about 4,800 of the above vehicles may have an unacceptable amount of clearance between the mat and the accelerator pedal. A driver floor mat without an acceptable amount of clearance to the accelerator pedal may prevent the accelerator pedal from returning towards an idle state when the driver removes pressure on the pedal, causing more engine power to be requested than intended. Unintended engine power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. This condition may be mitigated with the brake-throttle override function: if the accelerator pedal is held in a fixed position for a certain amount of time, and then the brakes are applied, the engine will disregard the continued accelerator pedal request and the engine will return to idle, despite the position of the accelerator pedal.
Repair
Inspect the driver’s floor mat part number and replace the mat if it is the defective part.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Driver Floor Mat
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain [2018 (WK) Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and Trackhawk] vehicles.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The driver floor mat on your vehicle [1] may have an unacceptable amount of clearance between the mat and the accelerator pedal. A driver floor mat without an acceptable amount of clearance to the accelerator pedal may prevent the accelerator pedal from returning towards an idle state when the driver removes pressure on the pedal, causing more engine power to be requested than intended. Unintended engine power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. This condition may be mitigated with the brake-throttle override function: if the accelerator pedal is held in a fixed position for a certain amount of time, and then the brakes are applied, the engine will disregard the continued accelerator pedal request and the engine will return to idle, despite the position of the accelerator pedal.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the driver’s floor mat part number and replace the mat if it is the defective part. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit. Your time is important to us; please be aware that these steps may require more time. The estimated repair time is ½ hour. We recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
Please remove the current driver floor mat until you get your vehicle remedied.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
