Fiat Chrysler (FCA US) is recalling more than 36,000 model year 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs with gear shifters that can get locked in "park" or "neutral" when the SUVs are brought to a stop. It doesn't take too wild of an imagination to realize the various headaches this could cause.
Chrysler says the defect was traced to a wire harness terminal that can lose its electrical connection because the harness wasn't crimped correctly.
FCA hasn't said much about the recall but the automaker says it's unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the wire harnesses.
About 32,267 of the Jeep Grand Cherokees are in the U.S., an estimated 2,095 SUVs are in Canada, 538 are in Mexico and 2,472 are outside North America.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not released details about when the Jeep Grand Cherokee recall will begin, but Chrysler is recommending all affected owners use their parking brake when leaving the SUVs.
Owners of the recalled 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees can contact Fiat Chrysler at 800-853-1403.
