Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

UK RECALL #2 - Jeep recalls 2420 Grand Cherokee models for possible brake issues.

Vehicle Details
Reference :R/2014/079
Manufacturer Ref :P14 
Make:JEEP
Model :Grand Cherokee
Launch Date :02/09/2014
Numbers Involved :2420
Build Start Date :01/08/2010
Build End Date :08/08/2014 
Recall Details
Concern :INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION MAY BE REQUIRED
Description :The brake booster may prematurely corrode. If perforation of the brake booster shell (due to corrosion) occurs, water could enter the brake booster during wet weather. In very cold weather the water may freeze. The driver may be required to apply additional application force to the brakes during sub-freezing driving conditions leading to an additional brake pedal application force requirement which could slow the driver's brake application reaction time and cause a crash.
Remedial Action :Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the brake booster for corrosion and where necessary replace the brake booster. In all cases a shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water exposure will be fitted.
Vehicle Id :IC4RDHAG0CC108854 to 1J4RS6GTXBC739604
