Jeep is recalling 28,755 Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs manufactured during the 2007 and 2008 model years. The front brake calipers on some of these vehicles may have been produced from gray iron instead of the ductile iron. This can weaken the calipers and make them more prone to crack or break. A broken front brake caliper would significantly increase stopping distance and potentially cause a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the defective brake calipers free of charge.
