Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain 2014 Grand Cherokee SUVs equipped with premium headlamps over electrical spikes that may cause the parking lamps to turn off.
“In the affected vehicles, when switching between daytime running lights and parking lights, electrical spikes may cause the parking lamps to turn off. Without properly functioning parking lamps these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, ‘Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.’,” Chrysler said in a statement.

The vehicles affected by the recall are non-SRT trimmed 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that were manufactured from January 14, 2013, through March 20, 2013. The Detroit-based automaker will notify owners and dealers will update the Central Body Controller software free of charge.

The recall is expected to commence in August 2013. Until then, owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753.
