What's wrong, in plain English

Chrysler is recalling certain 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. The welds that hold the child seat tether anchors on the second row seat back frame may not be strong enough. If the welds are insufficient, the seat may not be able to hold a child's car seat in place properly during a crash. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal standard for child restraint anchorage systems. Dealers will reinforce the welds free of charge.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Jeep dealer to have the tether welds reinforced, or call FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (the recall number is 85B).
3. The repair is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. 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 24V586000.
