FCA US is recalling 328,381 certain model-year 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles because a rear coil spring can be installed incorrectly and detach while the vehicle is moving. A detached spring can become a road hazard and increase crash risk.
The federal campaign number is 26V562, and FCA identifies it as campaign 89D. The new action replaces NHTSA campaigns 23V413 and 26V051. NHTSA’s record specifically says vehicles repaired under either earlier recall must receive the new remedy.
What the record says
This is the third federal action tied to the same basic spring concern. The original 2023 recall covered roughly 331,000 vehicles. After owners reported springs detaching following that repair, NHTSA opened an investigation in December 2025. FCA recalled about 80,000 previously repaired vehicles under 26V051 in early 2026; campaign 89D now replaces both earlier actions with a broader remedy.
FCA dealers will replace the rear coil-spring lower isolators at no charge. Interim letters describing the safety risk are expected September 29, and a second letter will follow when the final repair is available. A completion date for the remedy was not listed in the NHTSA record.
NHTSA does not mark campaign 26V562 with a Do Not Drive instruction. Follow FCA’s VIN-specific interim guidance and contact a Jeep dealer promptly if the rear suspension makes a new clunking or scraping sound, the vehicle sits unevenly, or a spring or other suspension part appears loose. Do not crawl beneath an unsupported vehicle to inspect it yourself.
What dealers and customers should know
What this means for owners: enter the VIN through Mopar or NHTSA beginning September 9, confirm that Jeep and the servicing dealer have current contact information, and save the 89D campaign number. Do not assume that paperwork showing completion of 23V413 or 26V051 closes the issue; NHTSA says those vehicles need the new remedy.
What this means for shoppers: check the exact VIN before buying or accepting delivery of any affected model. Ask for written recall status that references campaign 89D, not only a service receipt from one of the superseded recalls. If the final remedy is still unavailable, make the open campaign and expected follow-up part of the purchase decision.
Why it matters
the most important fact is not simply the size of the recall—it is that earlier repairs do not settle the risk. Owners who normally ignore a repeat notice because the vehicle was already serviced should treat 89D as a new required action.
