Jeep is recalling nearly 420,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2022 through 2026 model years and Grand Cherokee L SUVs from the 2023 through 2025 model years to fix a faulty airbag sensor.

Due to a software error, a sensor for the side airbags may detect a fault when none is present. That could prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash, which might increase the risk of injury to occupants. In addition, it would put the vehicle out of compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards.

If the problem occurs, the airbag warning light will illuminate on the screen behind the steering wheel and a warning chime will sound when the vehicle is started.

To fix the problem, Jeep dealerships will perform a software update, free of charge.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Details

Vehicles recalled: 
• 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs manufactured between May 16, 2022, and Aug. 19, 2025
• 2023-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L SUVs manufactured between May 16, 2022, and Oct. 9, 2025

The problem: A supplier discovered a software issue in the occupant restraint controller (ORC), which may prevent error codes from clearing. This could prevent airbags from deploying properly, and means the vehicles are out of compliance with FMVSS 571.214, “Side Impact Protection.”

The fix: Jeep Dealerships will update the vehicle software, free of charge.

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

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) campaign number: 26V328
