    Jeep and Dodge are recalling over 206,000 SUVs to fix a safety issue that could allow vehicles to roll away when parked or disable the ABS or electronic stability control (ESC) while driving. Drivers may also notice that their brake lights are lit even if they aren’t stopping.

    Both the 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are being recalled. Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep and Dodge, tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is still working on a fix. Once it is ready, owners will receive a letter in the mail telling them to bring their SUV to a dealership for a free fix.

    Some of these SUVs had been already recalled for a similar problem in 2022 but will need another repair. According to Stellantis, there have been 533 warranty claims related to this recall but no crashes or injuries.

    Grand Cherokee and Durango Recall Details

    Vehicles Recalled
    • Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs built between June 11, 2018, and July 12, 2019
    • Dodge Durango SUVs built between June 12, 2018, and July 12, 2019

    The problem: These vehicles were built with an ABS/hydraulic control unit (HCU) module that does not properly sense pressure in the braking system. As a result, it can cause the brake lights to illuminate when the vehicle isn’t braking, or disable the ABS and ESC.

    The fix: Stellantis says it is still working on a fix for the problem.

    How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Stellantis at 800-853-1403. 

    NHTSA campaign number: 24V838. Stellantis’ own number for this recall is 94B.
