Over 80,000 Jeep Vehicles Recalled Over Faulty Rear Coil Springs

Another recall announcement just went out. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) just announced that Chrysler is recalling over 80,000 Jeep vehicles due to faulty rear coil springs. If this recall sounds familiar, and you remember getting your Jeep repaired already, you’re not done yet. The recall announcement says that “this recall replaces NHTSA recall number 23V413. Vehicles already repaired under the previous recall will need to have the new remedy completed.”

Why Is Chrysler Recalling So Many Jeeps?

The NHTSA announcement explains that in the affected Jeeps, “the rear coil springs may be incorrectly installed and detach from the vehicle while driving.” Loose coils are dangerous; the NHTSA warns that “rear coil springs that detach from the vehicle while driving increase the risk of a crash.”

Which Jeep Vehicles Have Faulty Rear Coil Springs?

According to the NHTSA brief, Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling almost 81,000 Jeeps, including the:

• 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
• 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
• 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
• 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Jeep owners should keep an eye on their mailboxes. Chrysler will mail out an initial round of letters explaining the issue in mid-February 2026. The company will send out a second round of letters once there’s a fix available, likely in March 2026.

If you want to see if your vehicle is impacted, and don’t want to wait for a letter, you can check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA site.

How Will Chrysler Fix This?

Chrysler has announced that “dealers will inspect and repair the rear coil spring assembly, as necessary, free of charge.” Make an appointment as soon as you’re able so that you can drive your vehicle with peace of mind.

If you have further questions, you can reach FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC’s number for this recall is 20D and the NHTSA number is 26V051000.
