Vehicle manufacturers are adding a slew of new utility vehicles to their lineups for the 2018 model year, and ceasing production of some of their cars as fleet and retail buyers shift their tastes toward SUVs of all stripes.
The recall, which covers an estimated 1.4 million vehicles, includes the Jeep Patriot, Jeep Compass, and Chrysler 200 models.
Chrysler Group will recall approximately 181,000 SUVs in the U.S. to prevent premature wear to a transmission oil cooler line. The automaker will also recall approximately 254,400 SUVs in the U.S. to upgrade software that controls restraint-system function in certain types of accidents.
The key change for the new model-year is improved fuel economy, with a standard 2.0L World Engine on the Patriot Sport, Latitude and Limited models.
The Jeep Patriot and Compass top the list of Best-Bang-for-Your-Buck SUVs and crossovers.
