Stellantis issues third Jeep recall for cars that may become hard to handle after suspension loss

October 15, 2026 Bojan Popic

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.

Auburn Hills, MI – October 6, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Dodge brand, is recalling 74,578 2021-2023 Dodge Durango SUVs because their rear spoilers may detach. The defect could result in an accident and subsequent injuries.

The affected vehicles were recalled in 2021 and 2023 but the repairs proved to be insufficient.

Recall summary  

A spoiler is a piece of plastic trim that sits on top of the liftgate for aesthetic purposes. 

The spoiler in the affected vehicles was not properly aligned with the roof, resulting in damage during liftgate use.

This could cause it to detach from the vehicle while it is in motion.

Recall risks

The spoiler can hit other vehicles on the road or create road debris. Either scenario can result in a serious accident.

Background of the recall

The affected vehicles were recalled in 2021 and then subsequently, 2023 for the same issue, as reported.

In March 2026,  the manufacturer started an investigation after receiving reports of spoilers detaching on the repaired vehicles.

Leading up to the recall, Stellantis received “8 customer assistance records, 116 warranty claims, and 37 other service records.” No accidents or injuries have been reported.

Warning signs

The driver or occupants may hear a “rattle” if the spoiler becomes loose. They may also hear the spoiler hit the body of the car “when opening or closing the liftgate.”

In June 2026, over 20,000 Dodge Charger and Jeep Wagoner were recalled over blank instrument panels, also as reported.

Auburn Hills, MI – September 8, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Alfa Romeo and Dodge brands, is recalling 48,777 SUVs whose rear seat belts may not work correctly. This defect reduces passenger protection in a crash, upping the chances of injury. 

The following models are affected:

  • 2023 – 2025 Dodge Hornet 

Recall summary

When the seat belt is buckled, a retractor pulls it firmly against the passenger’s torso. In the affected SUVs, the rear seat belt webbing may twist, preventing it from being fully retracted.     

Recall risks

Auburn Hills, MI – June 2, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Dodge and Jeep brands, is recalling 20,271 vehicles whose instrument panels may go blank. The defect deprives the driver of critical information, increasing the risk of a crash and injury.

The following models are affected:   

  • 2024 – 2025 Dodge Charger EV 
  • 2024 – 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S

Recall summary

Due to a software error, the instrument panel in the affected vehicles may fail to show gear selection and parking brake indicators, as well as various warnings such as the low tire pressure.

Auburn Hills, MI – April 28, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the RAM brand, is recalling 6,605 2026 RAM 2500 heavy-duty pickup trucks that may become unstable during sudden maneuvers. This defect increases the risk of a crash and injury, especially at higher speeds or in slippery conditions.   

 Recall summary

Electronic stability control (ESC) keeps the vehicle stable when turning or braking sharply by adjusting brake force to each wheel. In the affected trucks, the ESC may malfunction due to a faulty steering column module, which tells the ESC how much the driver is turning.    

Recall risks

Without the aid of ESC, the vehicle is more likely to skid or spin during sudden and harsh maneuvers. This could result in a serious – or even fatal – accident.

Warning signs

The driver may see an ESC warning light on the dashboard if the system malfunctions. 

Other RAM recalls

In February 2026, nearly 460,000 RAM trucks and Jeep SUVs were recalled over inoperable trailer lights and brakes.
