What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 2,752 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 1,932 of them name Power Train, Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2017 Jeep Cherokee, the 408 owners who gave an odometer reading for Power Train reported it at a median of 46,818 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.
