The American register
The British register
- DVSA recall R/2007/158: Jeep Commander, Nitro, Grand Cherokee and 1 more (Electronic brake control module may allow a momentary delay in brak...)
- DVSA recall R/2007/159: Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee (Front brake calipers could break under certain operating conditions)
- DVSA recall R/2013/087: Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander (Vehicle may roll away)
The European register
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles equipped with a 4.7L engine, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) contains software that may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the PCM.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2008185.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Jeep Commander, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Jeep: 334 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
