Jeep Recalls over 120,000 Grand Cherokees for Seat Safety Issue
UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – The recall affects 121,398 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs due to a locking mechanism defect that may cause headrests to remain loose, increasing crash injury risk, Chrysler said.
- On July 17, 2024, Stellantis issued a recall for 121,398 Jeep SUVs from the 2023 and 2024 model years—specifically the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L—due to a defect in the second-row head restraints.
- The recall followed a company investigation launched in August 2024 after engineering teams identified interference with the head restraints' internal locking mechanism.
- Affected vehicles have second-row head restraints that may not lock properly upright, which could leave headrests loose and increase injury risk during crashes.
- In its filing with the NHTSA, Chrysler warned that head restraints positioned in a forward-folded manner could elevate the chance of harm to passengers during specific crash scenarios, with vehicle owners expected to receive notification letters by September 5, 2024.
- Dealers will examine and, if necessary, replace the affected second-row head restraints free of charge, and vehicle owners may reach out to Stellantis for support by referencing recall number 20C.
