The 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee has three recalls, the most serious being a steering gear that can stick, bind, or seize, reducing the driver's ability to control the vehicle, and a fuel tank vent tube that can separate and allow fuel to leak.
On the electrical and cooling side, the plastic blades on the engine cooling fan can break loose and punch through the fan shroud. This poses a risk of injury to anyone near the open hood when it happens, such as during routine maintenance.
