The recall covers some Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, and Grand Cherokee 4XE models. The long-wheelbase models extend from the 2021–2023 model years, while the standard GC and the 4XE version only cover the 2022 and 2023 model years.JeepThe affected models may have been produced with incorrectly installed rear coil springs, according to the recall documents. The paperwork shows that the rear coil springs are physically sound, but could detach from the car while it is driving due to the installation error. Detached suspension parts obviously pose a risk to the occupants of the SUV, as well as any other car on the road, necessitating the fix. Grand Cherokee models with the air suspension are not included in the recall population, as they are not affected by the same issue.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe recall documents estimate that only 0.1 percent of the recall population is actually affected by the incorrectly installed springs. At the time of the recall's filing, Jeep was not aware of any accidents or injuries linked to the defect, though the company did report 29 customer assistance records and 409 warranty claims.Jeep will reach out to affected owners with instructions to bring their vehicle to a service center to have the rear coil-spring lower isolators replaced.
