Additional Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Information
According to Chrysler, the rear coil springs aren’t defective but were incorrectly placed on Grand Cherokees between December 2020 and May 2023. Rear coil springs, part of a vehicle’s suspension system, absorb the impact from bumps and also bear the vehicle’s body weight onto the axles.
The coil springs recall comes one month after Jeep recalled about 89,000 Grand Cherokees because their steering columns had been installed incorrectly. That recall centered on 2021-2023 models.
While no injuries have been reported, Chrysler said it fielded 17 warranty claims and two customer assistance records from drivers related to the part following a March 3 investigation.
