Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Expands to 328,381 SUVs

FCA US is recalling 328,381 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs after federal regulators and the automaker found rear coil springs could still detach after earlier repairs.

A new Jeep Grand Cherokee recall is affecting 328,381 SUVs in the United States after FCA US determined that rear coil springs may still be capable of detaching while the vehicle is being driven. The campaign covers certain 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models, 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee models and 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs.

The recall is especially notable because it replaces two previous campaigns involving the same underlying issue. Vehicles that were already repaired under those earlier recalls will still require the new remedy.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a detached rear coil spring can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. The latest recall carries NHTSA campaign number 26V562 and FCA US campaign number 89D.

Which Jeep Grand Cherokee Models Are Affected?

The latest campaign covers three Grand Cherokee configurations across the 2021 through 2023 model years.

The affected population includes 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee L, 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee and 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles. The suspect production period runs from December 5, 2020, through May 31, 2023.

The issue concerns the rear coil spring assembly. FCA US determined that the springs may have been incorrectly installed, allowing them to move out of position and potentially detach from the vehicle.

The latest recall covers certain 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs.

The recall does not mean every vehicle within those model years is affected. Owners need to check their vehicle identification number through the official NHTSA recall system or with a Jeep dealer to confirm coverage.

Why Is FCA Recalling These SUVs Again?

The current campaign follows two earlier recalls associated with rear coil spring installation.

The first recall, issued in 2023, involved hundreds of thousands of Grand Cherokee SUVs in which rear coil springs could have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. FCA US later launched another recall in early 2026 after determining that similar problems could occur during repairs performed under the earlier campaign.

The latest action follows additional complaints involving vehicles that had already received previous repairs.

NHTSA identified 20 complaints alleging coil spring separation after the earlier recall repair. FCA US subsequently provided the agency with 70 additional potentially related claims from its own data.

The New Recall Replaces Two Previous Campaigns

The scope of the latest action is important because it effectively replaces NHTSA recalls 23V413 and 26V051.

FCA US is now using a different remedy designed to address the potential problem with the lower spring isolators. Dealers will replace both rear coil spring lower isolators free of charge once the remedy is available.

The recall focuses on the rear coil spring assembly and the lower isolators that help secure the springs in place.

The manufacturer estimates that only a small percentage of the recalled vehicles actually contain the defect. However, the safety campaign applies to the entire population identified as potentially affected.

FCA US said it was not aware of any crashes or injuries associated with the issue as of the information included in the recall documentation.

What Happens When the Coil Spring Detaches?

A rear coil spring that separates while the SUV is moving can create an unexpected road hazard.

The detached component can potentially end up on the roadway and create a risk for other vehicles. NHTSA therefore classifies the condition as a safety concern because it can increase the possibility of a crash.

The recall documents also state that there may be no warning before the condition occurs. That makes ensuring the correct repair particularly important for affected owners.

Certain 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models are also included in the rear coil spring recall.

The Grand Cherokee L is included alongside the shorter-wheelbase Grand Cherokee and the plug-in-hybrid Grand Cherokee 4xe.

Owners Will Receive Recall Notifications

FCA US plans to begin sending interim owner notification letters on September 29, 2026. Additional communications will be sent once the final repair procedure is available.

Owners can also contact FCA US at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number 89D.

VIN information for the affected vehicles became searchable through NHTSA’s recall system during September. Because recalls apply to specific vehicles rather than every example of a model year, checking the VIN is the most reliable way to determine whether a particular Grand Cherokee is included.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Requires Another Repair

The latest Jeep Grand Cherokee recall highlights the difficulty of completely resolving a safety issue when previous repairs may not have addressed every affected vehicle correctly.

FCA US has now identified 328,381 potentially affected SUVs and is replacing the remedy used in the earlier campaigns. The new repair centers on the lower rear coil spring isolators and will be performed at no cost to owners.

For owners of affected 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L and Grand Cherokee 4xe models, the important step is to verify the VIN and follow the recall instructions once the repair becomes available. The latest campaign does not automatically mean every SUV has experienced a failure, but the agency’s finding makes the inspection and updated remedy part of the required safety response.
