2021 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 25 recalls, the most serious being a steering column intermediate shaft that can disconnect from the universal joint and cause complete loss of steering control. Several other chassis and drivetrain issues are serious. The steering gear rack bar can bend, making steering difficult or causing total loss of control. Rear coil springs can detach from the vehicle while driving, becoming a road hazard for other drivers; prior repair attempts on some vehicles did not fully resolve this issue and a second repair is required. Upper control arm ball joint bolts can fail and allow the control arm to pull away from the knuckle, dropping the wheel outward and causing loss of control. On 4Xe plug-in hybrid models specifically, the high-voltage battery can fail internally and catch fire while parked or driving. On vehicles with the 3.6L engine, the exhaust gas recirculation valve can stick open and stall the engine under certain conditions. On the occupant safety side, airbag control software may disable the driver, passenger, and knee airbags without warning. The second-row child seat tether anchorage may have a missing weld and can separate from the seat frame in a crash. Several visibility recalls cluster together: rearview cameras on certain trims can fail to display when reversing, headlights may not activate or may become inoperable due to software errors, and on 4Xe models the windshield defrost and defog system can stop working. Damaged side marker lamps on some vehicles may also reduce how visible the vehicle is to others.
