Stellantis is calling back all 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee cars because of a bad coil spring. According to information sent to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the problem could affect around 331,000 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs between 2022 and 2023. By July 28, letters will be sent to those who own these cars, and the dealer will fix the problem for free. Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs made between 2021 and 2023 may soon be recalled because of a problem with the coil springs. Stellantis says that the rear coil springs on 331,401 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L cars may have been put in wrong. 217,099 Grand Cherokee L SUVs and 114,302 Grand Cherokee SUVs are part of the recall. There are no Grand Cherokees shown that have air suspension. In May 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) got a report saying that a “potentially out-of-position rear coil spring” was a production flaw. This means that the spring could come loose while the car is moving. The split could cause the driver to lose control and make it more likely that an accident will happen. As of May 25th, the issue had been attributed to two calls to customer service, seventeen warranty claims, and two reports from the field. No crashes or injuries have been said to have happened because of the broken springs. The recall report says that only 13% of the 331,401 cars being recalled are likely to be affected, and Grand Cherokees made after May 31 are not among them. Before the end of July, Stellantis will let owners know about the recall. In the meantime, Grand Cherokee drivers can check the NHTSA’s website for recalls to see if their cars are affected.
