Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs Recalled for Wheels That Could Come Loose
If this happens while driving, it could cause a crash
Jeep is recalling over 338,000 2021 through 2023 Grand Cherokee L and 2022 through 2023 Grand Cherokee SUVs because a suspension component could break and cause a wheel to detach and fall outward from the vehicle. A Stellantis spokesperson told Consumer Reports that the wheel does not separate but rather "comes loose."

• Jeep Grand Cherokee L SUVs manufactured between Dec. 3, 2020, and May 30, 2023

The problem: A pinch bolt that was damaged during the assembly process may break and result in the loss of clamp load between the upper control arm ball joint and the steering knuckle, which could cause the wheel to fall outboard (aka come loose) and lead to a crash.
The fix: Jeep dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the pinch bolts, free of charge.

NHTSA campaign number: 24V132. Jeep’s number for this recall is 10B.
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
