What's wrong, in plain English

In some Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles, the bolt that holds the second-row seat belt buckle in place may not have been tightened properly. Because the buckle is not securely anchored, the seat belt may not hold an occupant in place the way it should during a crash. This can reduce how well the seat belt protects a person sitting in the second row, increasing the risk of injury if a crash occurs.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Jeep dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403, to have the seat belt bolt inspected and tightened.
3. The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V434000.
