Jeep is recalling more than 338,000 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L cars from the model years 2021 to 2023 because of a problem with the steering. NHTSA records show that the issue is a coming apart of the steering knuckle, which can make the driver lose control of the SUV. When you take your car to a shop, Jeep says they will fix the upper control arm pinch bolts for free. Because of a problem with the steering, Jeep is taking back 338,238 Grand Cherokees that were made between 2021 and 2023. The car company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the recall was because of a steering knuckle that could break off from the upper ball joint, which would let the wheel fall forward. It stands to reason that this could cause the driver to lose control of the SUV. Both the Grand Cherokee with a regular wheelbase and the Grand Cherokee L with a longer wheelbase are being recalled. Jeep says that the patch will mean that sellers have to fix the upper control arm pinch bolts. In regard to this, you will not be required to pay anything. Additionally, the business plans to send letters to car owners by April 12 to let them know about the problem. This is the third time this month that Jeep has said they will recall the current model Grand Cherokee. The other two are less likely to cause an accident, but some 9433 GCs may not have working high-beam headlights, and about 200K models, such as some 2021–2024 Jeep Wranglers, may have problems with their window defrosters and wipers. Jeep says that both problems can be fixed for free by having a provider update the software on one and change the lighting settings on the other. People who own cars should check the NHTSA’s page on recalls to see if their car is one of the types that is being recalled.
