Fiat Chrysler Automobile NV is recalling 98,700 Jeep Cherokee SUVs worldwide to fix a flaw
that could cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into neutral.

The campaign covers 2014 model Cherokees equipped with 3.2-liter V-6 engines, more than 80% of which are in the U.S.

The defect is a clutch valve inside the gearbox that can stick. Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module. FCA plans to begin the recall within the next two months.
