Buying a used 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Check these 3 recalls first
Only three recalls for this year, and two of them are diesel-specific: fuel pump failure and stalling. The third is a low-severity backup camera image that stays on screen. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. The owner record is busier than the recall list suggests — 237 unverified NHTSA complaints with 24 crashes, five fires, and 13 injuries, concentrated in electrical (71), unknown or other (63), engine (50), and power train (39). Fire reports here are not tied to any listed recall.
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.
- Confirm the engine — both fuel-related recalls apply only to the diesel
- Shift to reverse and back, checking the camera image clears from the screen
- Test drive for stalling, transmission shift quality, and any electrical or warning-light faults
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
