2006 JEEP COMMANDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 Jeep Commander has 4 recalls, the most serious involving two separate issues that can cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly while driving, cutting power to the steering, brakes, and airbags. One of these affects vehicles with the 4.7L engine, where a software flaw in the powertrain control module can cause the engine to stall and leave the driver without propulsion. The other involves the ignition switch, where an overloaded key ring or knee contact can knock the key out of the run position, killing the engine and disabling critical safety systems mid-drive. On the safety equipment side, the third-row seatbelt retractor bracket can rub against the belt webbing, fraying or cutting it so it may not hold an occupant in a crash. There is also a brake concern, where a software issue in the anti-lock brake system can cause a brief delay in braking response when coasting uphill, potentially causing a crash before the driver has time to react.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

Defect

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Safety Risk

If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.
