As of May 25th, 2023, the automaker has become aware of two customers assistance records, 17 warranty claims, and two field reports that may be associated with the issues. Thankfully, there have been no reports of accidents or injuries linked to the malfunctioning springs.

    What is wrong with Jeeps suspension component?

    The underlying issue stems from a manufacturing error related to the improper attachment of the rear coil springs. Jeep authorized dealerships will conduct inspections and, if necessary, reattach the springs at no cost to the vehicle owner. Jeep was expected to send out letters to effected owners by July 28.

    If a suspension detachment were to occur while a vehicle is in motion, drivers are put at risk of losing control of the vehicle, and the fallen part could potentially pose a hazard to other drivers on the road. It is worth noting that Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with the optional air suspension system are exempt from this recall.

    Can I drive my Jeep Grand Cherokee if my spring coil is defective?

    Driving with a broken spring coil typically results in a rougher ride and increased difficulty in controlling the vehicle during emergencies. A fractured coil suspension spring can exert additional stress on the neighboring shock absorber, potentially leading to significant damage if you continue to drive in this state.

    Additionally, a broken coil can potentially cause damage to your steering and braking systems. Coil springs are coated with a flexible plastic layer to shield the metal from corrosion. However, with continuous compression and exposure to debris from the road, this protective coating can become damaged over time, enabling rust to develop on the coil.

    If my Jeep is affected by the recall, what is the cost of repair?

    Jeep has promised all owners of the affected vehicles a repair free of charge. The Dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, reinstall the rear coil springs. When a car is recalled, the responsibility for covering the cost of repairs typically falls on the automaker, as they are legally obligated to fix safety related issues with any vehicle they have produced.
