Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Service

Jeep Grand Cherokee Active Recall Service in Woodhaven, MI

Typically, a recall is issued when a part has been determined to be potentially faulty, interrupting the performance or safety of the vehicle. It's not usually a big deal, you probably won't notice any problems with the car, but the repair needs to be conducted to maintain the expectations you had when you bought the car. You might see a major recall announced in the news or a commercial. More likely for minor issues, you might be notified by the dealership you bought the car from, or the technician will tell you about the recall when you bring the vehicle in for routine maintenance as outlined in the owner's manual.

The Unfortunate Aspect of Recalls

When a recall does occur, it might seem to be a bit of an inconvenience or nuisance to realize the need to take your car to the shop for repairs it doesn't seem to need. Even with the amenities modern dealerships offer to make wait time more pleasant, it's understandable people have other things to do and don't like to wait for mechanical work to be completed. Keep in mind, depending on the nature of the recall and whether your vehicle is showing specific symptoms of a potential problem, it can generally wait until the next routinely scheduled maintenance routine and be fixed by a technician while the vehicle is already in the shop area for other reasons.

What Can Happen if You Don't Respond to a Recall

The problem with not responding to a recall is you don't always know how important it is. If it's something simple such a replacement for an electric window motor and yours is working, it might not seem important. However, if the window starts going up or down unexpectedly, it might become a safety issue for children or if you happen to drive through a high crime area. The same issue left unfixed might cause a different problem if it stops working because the defective part wasn't replaced at your convenience it's always going to happen when you can't get to the shop, or have the window stuck open during a rainstorm.
