Auburn Hills, MI – July 1, 2023 – Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), which owns the Jeep brand, is recalling 331,401 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs because a part of their rear suspension may break off. This may cause the vehicle to become unstable and may also lead to road debris, increasing the risk of a crash and injury.
Recall summary
The spring coil is a flexible component of the vehicle’s suspension, which allows the wheels to go up and down over the bumps. In the affected SUVs, however, the springs at the rear were fitted incorrectly and may fall out of their position. This could cause the rear suspension to break and could also create road debris for other vehicles.
Recall risks
A broken suspension can make the vehicle unstable and difficult to control, upping the chances of a crash and injury. In addition, other vehicles on the road could come upon the broken coils and crash.
Other Jeep recalls
Just a few days ago, Jeep recalled hybrid Cherokees over the risk of stalling.
Earlier this year, in April, a batch of Jeeps was recalled because their transmission may overheat and cause the vehicle to catch fire.
The repair
Dealers will repair the rear springs free of charge.
Owners should be notified on July 28, 2023.
