Auburn Hills, MI – October 15, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Jeep brand, is recalling 328,381 SUVs over loss of stability due to broken suspension. The defect significantly augments the risk of a serious accident.
The list of the affected models includes:
- 2022 – 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- 2022 – 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE
- 2021 – 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The recall comes on the heels of an ongoing U.S. government investigation and two failed recalls for the same issue. NHTSA recall number is 26V562000.
Recall summary
A coil spring is a flexible suspension component that keeps the vehicle level and absorbs road bumps. In the affected SUVs, the rear coil spring may detach from the car because it was not fitted properly.
Recall risks
The corner of the car above the rear coil spring can collapse when it detaches. That can make the vehicle hard to control, significantly upping the odds of an accident.
Without the spring, the rear axle can grind against the tire, causing a blowout. The resulting damage could also cause a rupture of the brake lines or cracks of the exhaust system.
Lastly, a detached coil spring may create a road hazard for other motorists.
Background of the recall
Stellantis first recalled these vehicles in July 2023, as reported. In December 2025, the US government safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), opened an investigation after receiving complaints of rear coil springs detaching on the repaired vehicles.
In March 2026, Stellantis recalled the same vehicles again, also as reported.
In July 2026, the manufacturer received a complaint about a vehicle that has gone through two rounds of repairs, leading to the present recall.
The U.S. government investigation into the matter remains open.
Other Jeep recalls
In July 2026, Stellantis expanded its existing recall for Jeep Cherokee SUVs that could have rolled away when parked.
In June 2026, nearly 420,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees were recalled because their airbags may not have deployed fast enough in a crash.
The repair
Dealers will replace the isolators that hold the rear springs in place free of charge.
Notifications to the owners will be mailed between September 29, 2026 and October 7, 2026.
