49 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The rear coil springs are the big metal springs that hold up the back of your Jeep and soak up bumps. On these vehicles they may have been installed incorrectly at the factory, and a spring can work loose and come off the vehicle while you are driving. Chrysler is replacing the rubber pads the springs sit on. The final fix is not ready yet, so owners are getting a warning letter first and a second letter later.
A software error means the tire pressure system may not spot a low tire, and the low-pressure warning light on your dash may not come on when it should. You could drive on an underinflated tire without knowing, which makes the vehicle harder to control and raises the chance of a crash. The fix is a free software update at the dealer. Owner letters are expected to start going out September 29, 2026; until then, check your tire pressures yourself with a gauge.
Certain Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer and Wagoneer L vehicles have a software error that can stop the gear display from showing. That is the readout that tells you whether the vehicle is in park, reverse, neutral or drive. Without it, you cannot confirm the vehicle is actually in park before you step out, and it may move when you do not expect it or roll away on its own. Dealers reprogram the shifter software for free.
A software mistake in the computer that controls the airbags and seat belts can delay the side airbags during a crash. The airbags still go off, but not as quickly as they should, so they may not be fully in place when you need them. Because of this, these Jeeps do not meet the federal side-impact protection rule. The fix is a free software update at the dealer. Your VIN becomes searchable on NHTSA's website on May 28, 2026.
The rear coil springs are big metal springs that hold up the back of the vehicle. On these Jeeps, they may have been installed incorrectly and can come loose and fall off while you are driving. Chrysler says that raises the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and repair the rear spring assembly free of charge. Interim letters went out in February 2026, and the final repair was expected in March 2026, with a second letter to follow.
The large high-voltage battery in these plug-in hybrid Jeeps can fail inside and catch fire. It can happen while you are driving or while the vehicle is parked. Until it is fixed, Jeep says park outside away from buildings and do not plug the vehicle in to charge. A dealer will update the battery software and replace the battery if needed, free of charge. Vehicles already repaired under recalls 24V720 or 23V787 still need this new repair.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
This affects Grand Cherokees with the plug-in hybrid setup, which runs on both gas and a battery. The computer that manages that hybrid system has a software error, and because of it the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels. That could leave you slowing down or stuck in traffic without warning. The fix is a free software update at the dealer, which takes the place of any parts replacement.
The headrests on the second-row seats of these Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L models may not lock in the upright position. A headrest that will not stay up cannot support the head of the person sitting there, so passengers in that row have less protection in a crash. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for head restraints. Dealers will inspect both second-row headrests and replace them if needed, free of charge.
The blower motor — the fan that pushes air through the vents — can fail. If it quits, the defroster and defogger stop working, so you cannot clear fog or frost from the windshield. That leaves you looking through a clouded or iced-over window, and poor visibility makes a crash more likely. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal standard for windshield defrosting and defogging. A dealer will inspect the blower motor and replace it if needed, free of charge.
A small electrical part inside the big center touchscreen can get too hot, and when it does the backup camera picture doesn't come up on the screen. Backing up without that view makes it harder to see people or objects behind you, and federal rules require the image. Chrysler says dealers already replaced the display in every affected Jeep, so if yours was covered the work has been done.
Certain 2024 Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L models have incorrect software in the rearview camera. Because of it, the camera picture may not appear on the screen when you shift into reverse. Without that view, you cannot see what is directly behind the vehicle while backing up. This also means these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. Dealers will reprogram the camera module with corrected software at no charge to you.
Bolts that hold the metal support bar for the radiator at the front of these SUVs may not be tightened properly. Because of that, in a crash the airbags may not deploy the way they should, and fuel can leak. Airbags that go off incorrectly can hurt the people inside, and leaking gasoline can catch fire. The vehicles fail two federal safety standards, one for crash protection and one for fuel system integrity. Dealers will check the bolts and tighten them free of charge.
A connector for the side airbags built into the front seats may not have been fastened properly at the factory. If that connection is loose, the side airbags might not inflate during a side-impact crash, leaving you without that protection. The airbags look normal and there is no warning you would notice while driving. The fix is simple — the dealer secures the connector at no cost. Chrysler says every affected vehicle has already been repaired.
The screen behind the steering wheel runs on software, and an error in that software can make the speedometer show a speed that isn't your actual one. You could be traveling faster or slower than the number you see. Nothing is physically broken and the rest of the vehicle works normally, but the display fails the federal rule requiring accurate speed readings. A dealer checks the cluster and loads corrected software.
A fault in the antilock brake computer can switch off both antilock braking and the stability control that keeps you from sliding in a turn. It can also make your brake lights come on when you are not braking, and it can let you start the vehicle and shift out of Park without your foot on the brake — so the vehicle could roll away. Dealers will replace a brake sensor and update the software, free. Vehicles already fixed under the earlier recall 22V-426 need this new repair too.
The welds that hold the child-seat top tether anchors on the back of the second-row seat may not be strong enough. Those anchors are the hook-up points for the strap at the top of a forward-facing child seat. In a crash, weak welds could let the anchor pull loose, so the child seat would not hold the child in place the way it should. The vehicle does not meet the federal rule for child-seat anchors.
The radio software in these vehicles can keep the backup camera picture from appearing at all. When you shift into reverse, the screen may not show what is behind you, so you cannot see a child, a person, or an object in the vehicle's path while backing up. That makes it much easier to hit something you never saw. The repair is a software update for the radio, done at the dealer or sent to the vehicle wirelessly.
The buckle you click a seat belt into, for the second-row seats, is held to the vehicle by a bolt. On these Grand Cherokees, that bolt may not have been tightened enough at the factory. A buckle that is not firmly anchored may not hold a passenger in place during a crash, so someone belted into that seat could be hurt. A dealer will check the bolt and tighten it if it is loose.
Some 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokees left the factory missing a piece of energy-absorbing foam inside the front bumper. Chrysler says that missing foam can keep the front airbags from going off the way they are supposed to in a crash, so the vehicle does not meet the federal rule for crash protection. If the airbags do not work as designed, people in the front seats face a greater chance of injury. A dealer will inspect the bumper and add the foam if needed.
A cable behind the dashboard screen may not be plugged in all the way. When that happens, the picture from the backup camera does not show up on the screen when you shift into reverse. Without that view you cannot see people, pets, or objects directly behind the vehicle, so it is easier to back into something. The dealer simply pushes the cable connection together properly. Chrysler says every affected vehicle has already been fixed.
On some 2023 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs, the connections behind the dashboard screen were not fastened tightly enough. When that happens, the picture from the backup camera may not appear on the screen when you shift into reverse. You lose the view of the area right behind the vehicle that the camera is there to show you, and federal rules require that image to appear. Chrysler says every affected vehicle has already been fixed.
A part in the steering column may not have been welded correctly at the factory. That part carries the electrical signal to the driver's airbag in the steering wheel. If the weld is bad, the airbag may not inflate during a crash, so the driver would not get the protection it is supposed to give. A dealer will check the part and replace it if needed at no cost to you.
On certain 2023-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles, when the main headlight switch is left in the AUTO position, the driver may not be able to switch on the high beams right away. High beams are what you use to see farther down a dark road. Because of this, the vehicle does not meet the federal rule for headlights and other lamps. A dealer can correct the settings.
A ball joint sits at the top of the front suspension and holds the wheel to the vehicle while letting it turn and move up and down. On these Grand Cherokees, that joint can pull apart from the steering knuckle. If it does, the wheel can fall outward and you can lose control of the SUV. Dealers will replace the pinch bolts that clamp the upper control arm in place, free of charge.
On some 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokees, a steering part called the knuckle was machined wrong at the factory. It can come apart where it joins the ball joint, which lets a front wheel fall outward while you are driving. If that happens you would lose control of the vehicle. The notice does not describe any warning light or noise beforehand. Your dealer will replace the steering knuckle free of charge.
A software mistake in one of the vehicle's computers can stop the windshield defroster and defogger from working. That is the system that clears fog and ice off the inside and outside of your windshield. If it quits on a cold or damp day, you may not be able to see clearly out the front. The vehicles also do not meet the federal safety rule for defrosters. Dealers will update the software free.
Certain Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles have a software problem in the module that runs the parking camera. Because of it, the backup camera picture may not show up on your screen when you shift into reverse. Without that view, it is harder to see people, children or objects behind you while backing up. Dealers will update the software at no cost to you.
These Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee trucks with the 3.0-liter diesel engine have a toothed ring on the crankshaft that can come apart in layers. The engine computer reads that ring to time the fuel injectors and the camshaft, so when it breaks down the engine loses its timing and can stall. Dealers will reprogram the engine computer so the vehicle keeps running, free of charge. This recall is an expansion of an earlier one, 20V-475.
The rear coil springs are the large metal springs that hold up the back of the vehicle. On these Grand Cherokees they may have been installed incorrectly, and a spring can come loose and detach while you are driving. A dealer inspects the rear spring assemblies and repairs them at no cost. Important: this recall has been replaced by a newer one, NHTSA number 26V051, and every affected vehicle needs the new repair performed.
The steering column intermediate shaft is the metal link that carries your turning of the steering wheel down toward the front wheels. On some 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee L vehicles, this shaft was put together incorrectly and can disconnect at its joint. If that happens, turning the steering wheel no longer steers the vehicle. Dealers will inspect the shaft and, if needed, replace it and the parts that hold it together.
On certain 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles, the airbag warning label may be missing from the dashboard. That label tells people in the vehicle how to use seats and seat belts safely around the airbags. Without it, occupants may not follow the correct guidelines. Because the label is missing, these vehicles do not meet the federal rule for occupant crash protection. Chrysler will mail owners the label information at no charge, and dealers will install the label on unsold vehicles.
On some 2022 Grand Cherokee and 2021-2022 Grand Cherokee L SUVs, the small marker lights built into the tail light assemblies at the rear corners may be damaged and fail to light up. That means part of the rear lighting required by federal safety rules does not work. With those lights out, drivers behind you or approaching from the side have a harder time seeing your vehicle, especially at night or in bad weather.
These diesel trucks and SUVs have a pump that pushes fuel to the engine at very high pressure. If that pump fails, debris from inside it can get into the fuel system and leave the engine starved of fuel. When that happens, the vehicle can suddenly lose power while you are driving. Your dealer will replace the pump, and also check the rest of the fuel system and replace any other parts that need it, at no charge.
A fault in the antilock brake computer can turn on your brake lights and let the vehicle start and shift out of Park even when your foot is not on the brake pedal. That means the vehicle can be moved out of Park by accident and roll away on its own, with no warning, possibly hitting someone nearby. Chrysler replaced this recall with a newer one, number 24V838, so even a vehicle already repaired needs the new fix.
These SUVs have a valve that routes some exhaust back into the engine to cut pollution. On these vehicles the valve can stick open. When that happens the engine can suddenly stop making power, so the vehicle slows or quits pulling with no warning, which is dangerous if you are merging, passing, or climbing a hill. There is no way for you to see it coming. The dealer replaces the whole valve assembly at no cost to you.
Child car seats that use a top tether hook onto an anchor built into the seat back. On these vehicles, a weld that attaches that anchor to the second-row seat frame may be missing, so the anchor is not held on as strongly as it should be. In a crash, the tether could pull free of the seat frame, letting a child's seat move more than it should and raising the risk of injury. These vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for child seat anchors.
Some 2021 Grand Cherokee L SUVs received a software update for the module that controls the lights, and the update did not finish properly. As a result, one or both headlights can stop working. That leaves you with less light to see the road ahead and makes it harder for oncoming drivers to see you, which raises the risk of a crash. The fix is simply reloading the correct software, which a dealer does in one visit.
The computer that controls the airbags may have been loaded with the wrong software. Because of that, the driver airbag, the front passenger airbag and the knee airbags can switch themselves off without any warning to you. If that happens, those airbags would not inflate in a crash, so the people in the front seats would not get the protection the vehicle is supposed to provide. A dealer can reload the correct software and fix the problem.
These Jeep Grand Cherokee L models were built without automatic high beams, but the headlight switch still has an "auto" setting. If you leave the switch on auto and reach for the high beams, nothing happens. You first have to turn the switch to the "on" position before the brights will come on. That is not how headlights are required to work, so the dealer will reprogram the vehicle.
On some 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models, a software error in the radio can keep the backup camera picture from showing on the screen. When you shift into reverse, you may see a blank screen instead of the view behind the vehicle. Federal rules require that image, so these vehicles do not meet the standard. A dealer will update the radio software free of charge. Owner letters were mailed December 28, 2021.
On Grand Cherokees with the 3.0L diesel engine, the part that cools exhaust gases before they are routed back into the engine can crack. Hot coolant then turns to vapor, gets pulled into the engine's air intake, and can catch fire inside it. Dealers will replace the cooler and inspect the intake manifold, replacing it if needed. Parts were not available when the first letter went out, so owners were sent an interim notice and a second one later.
The software in your 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio screen has a bug. After you back up and shift out of reverse, the picture from the backup camera can stay on the screen instead of switching back to the normal display. That means you can be driving forward while a rear-facing picture is still showing, which can pull your eyes and attention off the road ahead. The fix is a software update for the radio screen.
The front differential — the gearbox that sends power to the front wheels — on these 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs may contain gears that were not hardened enough. The teeth on those gears can wear away. If they wear off completely, the vehicle can suddenly lose power while you are driving. It can also lose the PARK function, meaning the vehicle may not stay put when you park it. Dealers replace the whole front differential.
These are Mopar accessory floor mats, part numbers 6ML07TRMAA and 6GA92TRMAA, sold separately for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and Trackhawk models. The mat does not leave enough space around the gas pedal, so it can hold the pedal down and stop it from coming back to its normal resting position after you take your foot off. The vehicle could keep accelerating when you want it to slow. Your dealer will replace an affected mat at no charge.
On some 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and Trackhawk models, the driver's floor mat sits too close to the gas pedal. There is not enough room between the two, so the mat can catch the pedal and keep it from springing all the way back when you lift your foot. If that happens, the engine keeps pulling and the vehicle may not slow down when you expect it to. Dealers will swap the mat for a corrected one for free.
The computer that runs the engine has a small part inside, a voltage regulator chip, that can fail. When it does, the engine can shut off while you are driving, or the vehicle may not start at all. A stall in traffic leaves you without engine power and can put you in the path of other vehicles. Dealers will replace the whole engine computer at no charge.
These vehicles have cruise control, which holds a set speed for you. A short circuit in the wiring can lock the cruise control on. If that happens, tapping the brake pedal or pressing the off button may not shut it off, and the vehicle can keep its speed or even speed up on its own. Chrysler tells owners to stop using cruise control until the free computer software update is done at a dealer.
The wrong part may have been installed inside the automatic transmission. It is a rod that locks the transmission when you move the shifter into Park. If the wrong rod is in there, the transmission may not actually lock, so the vehicle can roll on its own after you think you have parked it. That could hurt someone standing nearby or cause a crash. A dealer installs the correct rod for free.
On these supercharged Grand Cherokee Trackhawk models, a fuel line can come apart. If it does, the engine may stall while you are driving, which can leave you stopped in traffic without warning. A separated fuel line can also spray gasoline in the engine bay, which can start an engine compartment fire and injure someone. Your dealer will look at the fuel line and replace it if needed, at no charge to you.
