5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 3 recalls, the most serious being a risk of fire in the high-voltage battery on 4Xe plug-in hybrid models, which can occur while the vehicle is parked or being driven.
A separate hybrid-only concern involves a software error in the hybrid control processor that can cut drive power without warning, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate and raising the risk of a crash. The third recall affects a broader range of Grand Cherokee trims: a software error in the occupant restraint controller can delay side airbag deployment in a crash, reducing the protection the airbags are designed to provide.
