Jeep is recalling 328,381 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs from the 2021 to 2023 model years because the rear coil springs may have been installed incorrectly and can detach while driving. It is the third recall for the same problem, and it includes SUVs that were already repaired under the earlier two.
Dealers will replace the rear coil spring lower isolators for free, but the final parts weren't widely available when interim letters went out.

Why is this the third recall?
The first fix came in June 2023 under campaign 23V413. After that, NHTSA contacted the automaker about complaints of springs separating on SUVs that had already been repaired.
A second recall, 26V051, followed in January 2026. The new campaign, 26V562, replaces both. NHTSA says vehicles "already repaired under the previous recalls will need to have the new remedy completed."
What happens if a spring comes loose?
NHTSA's summary: "Rear coil springs that detach from the vehicle while driving increase the risk of a crash." Reports on the filing note that the defect can happen without warning.
Since July 2023, the automaker has logged 29 customer assistance records and 406 warranty claims that are or may be related. No crashes or injuries were reported in coverage of the filing.
What should Jeep owners do?
- Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Affected VINs became searchable on September 9, 2026.
- Don't assume an earlier repair covers you. It doesn't.
- Listen for clunks or a sagging rear end, and have the SUV inspected if you notice either.
- Book the repair when your second letter arrives.
