Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles has announced it is recalling 34,334 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel models due to a potential engine problem that could raises the risk of fire. The recall includes 5,450 models in Canada.

Transport Canada explains on its website that “On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.0-L EcoDiesel engine, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler could crack internally and leak. If this happens, a driver may notice a low coolant level or a heater that does not work properly.”

The risk is that should the EGR cooler crack, vaporized cooling liquid could enter the EGR system, potentially leading to an engine fire.
