Jeep recalls 328,381 Grand Cherokees for rear coil springs, for the third time
Two earlier recalls for the same fault did not hold. SUVs that were already repaired have to go back, and the final fix is still being worked out.
FCA US filed recall 26V-562 on 1 September 2026 for 328,381 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and 2022–2023 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs. The rear coil springs may have been installed incorrectly and can come out of their seats while the vehicle is moving, which raises the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the springs' lower isolators free of charge.
It is the third recall for the same fault, and it supersedes both earlier ones. FCA says any SUV already repaired under them needs the new remedy as well.
Three recalls, one fault
| Recall | Filed | Vehicles | Remedy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23V-413 | June 2023 | 305,282 | Inspect and repair the spring assemblies |
| 26V-051 | January 2026 | 80,620 | Inspect and repair; final remedy promised for March 2026 |
| 26V-562 | September 2026 | 328,381 | Replace the lower isolators; replaces both of the above |
Interim letters warning owners went out on 29 September. A second letter is due once the final remedy is ready; FCA has not given a date.
What owners reported
On these model years, 65 owner complaints filed with NHTSA mention a spring, and 33 of them were filed in 2026 alone, more than in 2023, 2024 and 2025 put together. The suspension as a whole accounts for 135 complaints. Look up the full record by year: 2022 Grand Cherokee (264 complaints), 2023 Grand Cherokee (397), 2021 Grand Cherokee L (91).
Two more Jeep recalls the same month
- 26V-559, 201,975 vehicles: a software fault means the tire-pressure warning may not come on for 2024–2026 Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L and 4xe, Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models and the 2026 Cherokee. Dealers update the RF hub software; letters went out from 17 September.
- 26V-584, 97,349 vehicles: roof-rack crossbar pivot bolts on 2022–2026 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models may not have been tightened and can come off. Interim letters were due 8 October.
What to do
Run the VIN through the VIN lookup or nhtsa.gov/recalls, even if a dealer fixed the springs before. A clunk from the rear over bumps, or the back of the SUV sitting lower on one side, is worth a stop at the dealer now rather than after the letter.
