-
Floor shift (power train)
On certain sport utility vehicles, if a driver has not placed the shifter lever fully into the "park" position and leaves the vehicle running, the vehicle may unexpectedly move rearward after seeming to be stable.

Remedy: Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
-
Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)
The molded plastic pin which connects the upper steering column shaft and the lower column shaft may have been sheared prior to installation of the steering column assembly into the vehicle. If this occurred, the upper steering shaft will separate from the lower steering shaft.
Remedy: A restraining sleeve will be added to the intermediate shaft to limit the amount of steering shaft movement available.
-
Hatchback/liftgate (structure)
Grease applied to the liftgate latch rubber bumpers to ease component assembly caused the bumper to swell, interfering with the movement of the liftgate latch pawl. This prevents the liftgate latching when closed and difficult to open when latched.
Remedy: Replace the liftgate assembly on affected vehicles.
-
Suspension: front
The eccentric cam adjuster bolts in both front lower suspension arm-to-front axle bracket attachments may fail due to assembly misalignment.
Remedy: Replace the front suspension cam bolts, cam washers, and nuts with components of a different design.
-
Pedals and linkages (service brakes)
The retainer clip which secures the master cylinder input rod to the brake pedal was not installed properly, and could work loose.
Remedy: Improperly installed retainer clips will be removed and new retainer clips will be properly installed.

Checking a specific 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
How do I know if my 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 6 campaigns currently list the 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Jeep dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 02V053000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
