Known issues on the 1997 Cherokee. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year: a loss of brake fluid that lowers brake line pressure and lengthens stopping distance, headlights whose decreased visibility raises crash risk, frontal air-bag sensor/control-module corrosion that can illuminate the air bag warning light or allow inadvertent deployment, a disc brake rotor whose cast-iron wear surface can separate from the hub and reduce braking, exterior lighting with decreased visibility that raises crash risk, and a fuel-pump leak that could cause a fire near an ignition source. Owners have filed 496 complaints and Jeep has issued 78 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to an air-bag module fault or a hard-to-trace brake or lighting problem, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 Cherokee.
