Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall List By Year

These recalls cover a broad spectrum of issues, including electrical system glitches, lighting malfunctions, powertrain faults, braking system problems, and fuel-related hazards.

Is Your Jeep Grand Cherokee on the Recall List?
You can check whether your specific Grand Cherokee has been recalled by visiting the NHTSA’s recall page and entering your 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
If your vehicle appears on the recall list, schedule repairs with an authorized Jeep dealer as soon as possible. Most safety-related repairs will be completed free of charge.
If your vehicle has been determined to be subject to a recall, you will likely also receive a letter from Jeep stating your vehicle is being recalled. Jeep also has their own recall website where only their recalls can be researched.
4 Common Jeep Grand Cherokee Issues and Problems
Beyond the recalls, owners of the Jeep Grand Cherokee have reported a number of issues:
- Electrical System Problems: As seen across the recalls, rearview camera problems are common for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Otherwise, consumers reported seeing false warning lights on the dash as well as infotainment system issues.
- Forward Collision Avoidance Issues: Forward collision avoidance deals with systems like cruise control or automatic braking. Consumers mention issues with this system, like their brakes engaging without their input (“phantom braking”) or not engaging fast enough.
- Engine Problems: Owners mainly reported engine issues like stalling or suddenly shutting off. Engine problems can be very dangerous to drive with, so if you notice something about your vehicle’s engine, taking it in for repairs is important.
- Power Train (Transmission) Issues: Consumers had issues with shifting gears, where shifting would be rough or slippery. Consumers also report difficulty shifting from park.
5 (Five) Steps to Take if You Suspect a Safety Issue with Your Jeep Grand Cherokee
1. Check Your VIN for Recalls
Visit the NHTSA recall lookup tool and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to see if your Jeep Grand Cherokee is included in any current safety recalls.
This federal tool provides up-to-date information about official recall actions related to your specific vehicle.
2. Submit a Safety Complaint
Experiencing a problem that hasn’t yet been recalled but seems dangerous? Let NHTSA know by filing a safety report. Your report can help identify larger trends and may lead to future investigations or formal recalls.
3. Get Repairs Done at an Authorized Jeep Dealer
If your vehicle is part of a recall, make sure to take it to an approved Jeep service center for repairs. These recall fixes are carried out at no cost to you, as long as they’re part of an official safety campaign.
4. Use Jeep’s Tools to Stay Informed
You can also monitor your vehicle’s service needs through tools like the Jeep mobile app or the official Jeep Owner’s website.
These platforms allow you to manage service appointments and view repair history, but they don’t replace federal recall notifications—always cross-check with NHTSA for the most complete information.
5. Review Your Warranty Coverage
Not every issue will be covered by a recall. If your Grand Cherokee has a defect, check your warranty status using your VIN on Jeep’s warranty site.
Depending on how many miles you’ve driven and how long you’ve owned the vehicle, you may still qualify for free or discounted repairs.
What If the Repairs Don’t Fix the Problem?
If your Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to experience the same issue—even after multiple trips to the dealership—you may be driving a lemon. A vehicle may qualify as a lemon if:
- The defect substantially affects the vehicle’s safety, use, or value
- It has been taken in for multiple (typically 2–4) repair attempts for the same issue
- Or, it has been out of service for 30 or more total days due to repairs
If your Jeep continues to have the same problem after several repair visits, you may be dealing with more than just bad luck. Persistent issues like malfunctioning dashboard displays, electrical faults, or brake warning light failures could qualify you for compensation.
Under your state’s lemon law, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement, or cash settlement if your vehicle can’t be fixed within a reasonable number of attempts.
If this sounds like your situation, you may be eligible to receive a refund, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement under your state’s lemon law.
