More than 328,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs are being recalled because improperly installed rear coil springs could detach while the vehicle is moving—and some owners who already brought their Jeeps in for an earlier recall will need another repair. Chrysler, formerly FCA US LLC, is recalling 328,381 vehicles under NHTSA campaign number 26V562000. The manufacturer refers to the new campaign as recall 89D. The recall covers certain Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles from the 2021 through 2023 model years.

Which Jeep Grand Cherokees Are Recalled?

The new recall covers certain:

2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
2022–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2022–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

NHTSA records show the potentially affected vehicles were produced between December 5, 2020, and May 31, 2023. The recall doesn’t mean every Jeep from those model years has the defect. Recall coverage ultimately depends on the individual vehicle identification number, or VIN. Vehicles equipped with air suspension aren’t included in the affected population. Chrysler estimates that approximately 0.1% of the 328,381 recalled vehicles may actually contain the defect, but owners should still have the required recall work performed if their VIN is included.

Rear Coil Springs Could Come Out of Position

According to NHTSA, the affected vehicles may have rear coil springs that weren’t installed correctly. An improperly installed spring could come out of position and potentially detach from the vehicle while it is being driven. A coil spring is part of the vehicle’s suspension system and helps support the vehicle while absorbing movement from bumps and changes in the road surface. NHTSA warns that a rear coil spring detaching while the vehicle is moving can increase the risk of a crash. As of the recall filing, Chrysler had not identified any crashes or injuries related to the issue.

Some Jeeps That Were Already Repaired Need Another Fix

This is one of the most important details for Grand Cherokee owners. The new campaign replaces NHTSA recalls 23V413 and 26V051, two earlier recalls involving the rear coil spring problem.

Vehicles repaired under either of those previous campaigns will still need the remedy required under the new 89D recall. The earlier 2026 campaign alone involved more than 80,000 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles and addressed springs that could remain incorrectly positioned following the previous repair or because the earlier recall wasn’t completed.

That means an owner shouldn’t assume the issue is resolved simply because the Jeep was previously taken to a dealership for rear coil spring recall work. If the VIN appears under the new campaign, another dealership visit will be necessary.

Dealers Will Replace the Lower Isolators for Free

The latest remedy is different from simply inspecting the spring assembly. Authorized dealers will replace the rear coil spring lower isolators free of charge. The isolator sits between suspension components and helps position and cushion the spring. The new remedy is intended to prevent the coil spring from becoming incorrectly positioned and potentially detaching.

Owners shouldn’t have to pay for the recall repair. If a vehicle is included, contacting an authorized Jeep dealer and referencing recall 89D can help owners determine when the remedy will be available and schedule the work.

VIN Lookup Is Expected to Begin September 9

Owners may not immediately receive a recall letter. NHTSA says VINs associated with campaign 26V562000 are expected to become searchable through its online recall database beginning September 9, 2026. Interim owner-notification letters warning about the safety risk are expected to begin going out September 29. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available.

Owners don’t have to wait for a mailed notice before checking their vehicle. Once the VIN records are available, entering the Jeep’s 17-character VIN into NHTSA’s recall lookup can show whether the vehicle has an open recall.

Owners can also contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall 89D.

Don’t Assume an Earlier Recall Repair Means You’re Finished

Vehicle owners sometimes treat a completed recall as a closed chapter, but this Grand Cherokee campaign is an important exception. Because the new recall supersedes two previous campaigns, some owners who already spent time bringing their SUV to a dealer will need to return for another repair. The repair itself is free, but an unresolved recall can still carry indirect financial consequences if a vehicle is damaged, becomes unsafe to drive or requires unexpected transportation while awaiting service.

Owners may want to ask the dealer how long the repair is expected to take and whether transportation assistance is available if the vehicle must remain at the dealership. The safest approach is straightforward: check the VIN once the new recall becomes searchable, even if the Jeep previously received rear coil spring recall work.
