Jeep has recalled newer Grand Cherokees because the rear coil springs may have been installed incorrectly and could detach while driving. A spring that comes loose can affect handling and become a hazard for other drivers.
Which vehicles
- Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021 to 2023
- Jeep Grand Cherokee 2022 to 2023
- Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe in the same years
The recall number is 26V562.
What is wrong
Each rear corner has a coil spring that sits between rubber isolators. On affected vehicles, the springs may not be seated correctly. Over time, a spring can work loose and fall out. Signs can include a clunk from the rear over bumps, the vehicle sitting lower on one corner or a rear end that feels unstable.
The fix
Dealers will replace the lower rear coil spring isolators, free of charge. The final remedy was not yet available when the recall was announced. Jeep sent interim letters at the end of September 2026 and will send more when parts are ready. See what a recall with no remedy yet means.
What to do
- Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on Jeep’s owner site.
- Look at the vehicle on level ground. If one rear corner sits noticeably lower, or you hear new clunks, have it inspected now rather than waiting.
- Book the repair when the remedy is available.
One of several recalls
The 2022 redesign of the Grand Cherokee has had a steady stream of recalls in 2026 alone, including tire pressure monitoring and other campaigns. Early complaint rates for these years are moderate, but they are still too new for us to judge fully. If you want a proven Grand Cherokee, the 2016 and 2020 are our best picks. The 2012 and 2014 drew the most complaints. See the Grand Cherokee page.
Questions
Is it safe to drive? Jeep has not told owners to stop driving, but if a spring looks out of place or the rear sits low, do not wait.
Does this affect the older body style? No. This recall covers 2021 and later Grand Cherokee L and 2022 and later Grand Cherokee models.
