Buying a used 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 77 owner complaints on file

Two critical recalls on the 2021 Grand Cherokee L both concern rear coil springs that can come loose and fall off, and a high-severity recall covers side airbags that may not deploy. A backup camera screen that may go blank is the minor item; none carry stop-driving or park-outside instructions. The 77 unverified NHTSA complaints point mostly elsewhere, led by electrical system (26) and forward collision avoidance (18), then steering (16). Three crashes, two injuries and one fire are reported.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Inspect the rear suspension and confirm both coil spring recalls were performed.
3. Check the airbag warning light and confirm the side airbag recall is closed.
4. Test the backup camera and the forward collision system for false alerts.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
