What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles, the rear coil springs may not have been installed the right way. Because of this, a spring could work loose and detach from the vehicle while you are driving it. Jeep already mailed owners a letter warning about this risk, and will send a second letter once the final repair is ready, expected in March 2026.
What you should do
2. Contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to have the rear coil spring assembly inspected.
3. The inspection and any needed repair are free.
