The recall covers several versions of the SUV, including the Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, and Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall filing, loose suspension components falling onto the road could create a hazard for other drivers and increase the risk of a crash.
The Recall Affects Early Wl-Generation Grand Cherokee Models
The affected vehicles were built during a production period identified by Jeep between December 2020 and May 2023. According to Consumer Reports, the recall includes 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models, as well as 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs equipped with standard coil springs.
The recall does not involve models fitted with the available air suspension system. Jeep identified that the problem was linked to the installation process rather than a defect in the rear coil springs themselves. If the springs were not positioned correctly during assembly, they could eventually come loose from their intended location.
The vehicle breakdown includes 97,477 two-row Grand Cherokee SUVs, 215,433 Grand Cherokee L models, and 15,471 Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrids. Vehicles built after May 31, 2023, are not included in the campaign. This recall follows earlier actions related to the same rear coil spring issue. According to Motor1, some vehicles repaired under previous campaigns from 2023 and early 2026 are included again and will require the latest repair procedure.
Jeep has reported that the estimated defect rate is about 0.1% of the recalled vehicles. The company said it was aware of 29 customer assistance records and 409 warranty claims related to the issue as of late August 2026. No crashes or injuries linked to the condition have been reported.
Owners Will Receive a New Repair Procedure
The repair involves replacing both rear coil spring lower isolators, which are designed to help keep the springs correctly positioned. According to Consumer Reports, dealers will perform the work at no cost to owners once the repair process is available.
Owners can check whether their vehicle is included by using the vehicle identification number lookup system provided by NHTSA. Jeep plans to send notification letters beginning in late September 2026, with additional communication expected once the permanent repair instructions are ready.
The recall has been registered by NHTSA under campaign number 26V562000, while FCA’s internal recall reference is 89D. The company stated that vehicles previously repaired under earlier recall campaigns must still receive the updated fix.
The affected Grand Cherokee models represent an early production period for the current generation of the SUV. Jeep has continued to review reports related to the suspension issue as part of its safety investigation, leading to the latest recall action.
For owners of the recalled vehicles, the manufacturer recommends arranging an inspection with a Jeep dealer to determine whether the updated repair is needed. The replacement work is intended to secure the rear suspension components and prevent the springs from moving out of position during operation.
