Jeep Recalls 300,000-Plus Grand Cherokees
» Posted September 25, 2026 • Resources | Share This Post
Jeep manufacturer Stellantis is recalling nearly 330,000 Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicles, warning that rear coil springs could fly off the vehicles while they are on the road.
The springs may not be correctly installed, Stellantis recently said in a recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They could come out of position or detach from the vehicle entirely while driving, posing a safety hazard.
“A rear coil spring that detaches from the vehicle while driving creates a road hazard to operators and occupants of other vehicles,” Stellantis said in the notice. The hazard “can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or may result in injury to other road users,” the automaker added.
The recall covers the following models:
- 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee L
- 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee
- 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee PHEV
Some of the vehicles have previously been recalled for the same issue. The latest move came after the manufacturer said it received about 20 complaints about coil spring repairs on vehicles that had previously been recalled. Stellantis then found 70 more warranty claims that appeared to be related to the problem.
The company plans to notify owners of recalled Grand Cherokees by Oct. 7. Drivers can also check the NHTSA website in the meantime to see if their SUVs are included in the recall. Stellantis will ask owners to bring their SUVs to authorized service providers for inspection and repair.
“This recall is not related to a part defect but rather an assembly or repair issue where the vehicle may have been manufactured or repaired with an out-of-position rear coil spring assembly,” the automaker told NHTSA. “The remedy will be to replace both rear coil spring lower isolators.”
A Run of Recalls
This is far from the only safety issue facing Jeep drivers.
Over the summer, Stellantis said it was calling back about 12,000 Grand Wagoneer SUVs, citing problems with brake system controls that could lead to crashes. The company also recently recalled more than 400,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs over a defect in their side airbags.
Fortunately, Jeep drivers across California have strong rights and protections when it comes to defective and malfunctioning vehicles. You often don't have to wait for a recall to get your car fixed, with the manufacturer picking up the tab.
The California lemon law generally requires auto manufacturers to perform a wide range of repairs on vehicles under warranty. The law also requires companies to buy back covered vehicles they cannot or will not fix. That includes compensating an owner for the car’s purchase price, as well as financing fees, rental car costs, and other related expenses.
No specific number of repair requests or attempts must occur before the buyback or replacement requirement kicks in. An experienced California lemon law attorney can help you understand your rights and take action.
