There have been no accidents or injuries related to this issue, the company said in a statement.
Chrysler said it had found that a design change made to the engine manifolds modified the under-bonnet airflow, which “in rare cases could lead to debris accumulation in the engine compartment”.
Dealers will install a shield in the manifold area to prevent this from occurring.
The recall affects 182,044 Wranglers, 293,968 Cherokees and 639,310 Grand Cherokees.
