The latest recall as listed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) focuses solely on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but it's a hefty number. 331,401 SUVs going back to 2021 could experience a failure of the rear springs, and by that, we mean the springs could detach and come off while driving. Yikes.
The issue affects both standard Grand Cherokee and stretched Grand Cherokee L models, but only those without an air suspension system. To be more specific, the recall (NHTSA ID 23V-413) lists 114,302 Grand Cherokees possibly at risk, with the remaining 217,099 models being the Grand Cherokee L. Production dates for the recall go back to December 5, 2020 on the L, covering 2021 through 2023 models years. It's less for the Grand Cherokee, starting on May 17, 2021 and extending through 2022 and 2023 model-year SUVs. The suspect production period for both ends on May 31, 2023.
