Jeep Grand Cherokee loose radiator bolts risk airbag, fuel problems

NHTSA campaign 24V926000 · Reported 2024-12-12 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious — you would only find out in a crash, when the airbags may misfire and fuel may leak and ignite, so get the inspection done promptly even though the notice does not say to park it.

What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Verify your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Schedule the bolt inspection with a Jeep dealer, or call FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall D1B). 3. Inspection and tightening are free.
