Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Cherokee 4xe, Wagoneer, Wagoneer L, Grand Wagoneer and Cherokee vehicles.

On some Chrysler Pacifica vehicles, the rearview camera image may fail to show up on the screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Without that camera view, drivers have less visibility behind the vehicle while backing up. Because the camera image may not display, these vehicles do not meet a federal rear-visibility safety standard that requires a working rearview image when backing up.

Reported Mar 28, 2019 · Campaign 19V248000 · Model years: 2019

Reported Aug 9, 2018 · Campaign 18V524000 · Model years: 2018, 2019
A voltage regulator chip on the circuit board inside the powertrain control module may fail. If this chip fails, the vehicle may stall while it is being driven, or it may fail to start at all. To correct this problem, Chrysler dealers will replace the entire powertrain control module with a new one so the vehicle does not experience this stalling or no-start condition again.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Cherokee all-wheel-drive vehicles because the bearing cage in the right front halfshaft may not have been properly heat treated. This could cause the bearing cage to break and the halfshaft to fail. If the halfshaft cannot transmit power, the vehicle could lose the ability to drive, or it could move even when placed in Park.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles and 2018 Chrysler Pacifica non-hybrid vehicles because a component inside the transmission may not have been welded properly.

Reported Oct 24, 2017 · Campaign 17V670000 · Model years: 2018

Without it, someone could end up installing the wrong size tire and rim combination on the vehicle, which doesn't meet federal tire and rim safety labeling rules.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
NHTSA lists 25 safety recalls covering the 2018–2026 Jeep Cherokee. 20 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Jeep tire pressure warning system may miss low tires" (NHTSA campaign 26V559000), reported Sep 1, 2026.
Which Jeep Cherokee model year has the most recalls?
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee has the most, with 11 recalls. The 2023 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Jeep Cherokee?
No. None of the 25 Jeep Cherokee recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Jeep Cherokee has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Jeep dealer, including for second owners.
