Buying a used 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Check these 7 recalls first
Seven recalls, three critical: sudden loss of power, a diesel EGR cooler that can crack and cause fire, and vehicles that can roll out of Park. High-severity items include diesel fuel pump failure, diesel stalling, and a brake module failure. That brake recall lines up with the owner record — service brakes is the top complaint area at 116 of 365 unverified NHTSA reports, with hydraulic fourth at 64. Those reports include 18 crashes, four fires, and 10 injuries. Electrical sits second at 82.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Ask whether it is a diesel — the EGR cooler fire, fuel pump and stalling recalls are engine-specific
- Verify the brake module recall repair and test pedal feel and ABS warning lights
- Confirm the roll-out-of-Park and power-loss recalls are closed by VIN before driving
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
