The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 2 recalls, the most serious involving a transfer case that can shift itself into neutral without warning, allowing the vehicle to roll away and raising the risk of a crash or injury.
The second recall involves the driver's airbag wiring in the steering column. On affected vehicles, the squib wires may be reversed, which can cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly or fail to deploy at all in a crash, leaving the driver without that protection.
