Consumer Description
My 2017 Jeep Cherokee was manufactured in September of 2016. There’s no current recall on my VIN, however there is a recall regarding the PTU (power transfer unit) which ended September 23rd 2016, because cars after that date were manufactured with “stronger internal components”. My car only has 62,000 miles and I’m currently having the same issues as this recall describes. I’m getting a “service 4WD drive” alert, a “service shifter” alert, and “AWD unavailable” alert. I’ve taken it to multiple Jeep shops and the same code keeps popping up. C14A7-97. This code has a direct correlation with the power transfer unit causing the car to suddenly changed from 4WD to 2WD. I need to see if this can be replaced as a part of this recall. It’s available for inspection upon request.
