It received bad press during the late 1990s for problems with the timing chain, which often broke with catastrophic consequences.Fact|date=August 2007 This was improved from 1998 with a double chain design. Also had problems with corrosion in the 4 individual cylinder heads, which was not solved until model change in 2000.Fact|date=August 2007Temperature problems were also observed, taking into account that this motor was designed to be a marine motor, so the Cherokee TD suffers from overheating and some individual cylinder head can break.Fact|date=August 2007R 425 OHV
