Fire Investigations
In 2010, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into 1993-2004 model year Jeep Grand Cherokees which involves the fuel tanks of these SUVs. Because the gas tanks are mounted between the bumper and rear axle, a rear collision could cause the fuel tank to leak, causing a fire. Fifteen people have died from fires involving these vehicles. Also affected are 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty models and 1993-2001 Jeep Cherokee models, which totals about 5.1 million affected vehicles.
