Summary
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2014, non-SRT trimmed, Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured January 14, 2013, through March 20, 2013 equipped with premium headlamps.

Consequence
Without parking lamps, the vehicle may not be as visible to other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
