Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs Recalled to Fix Seat Belts
The third-row seat belts do not meet federal safety standards
Jeep is recalling over 97,000 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer three-row SUVs from the 2022 through 2024 model years because their third-row seat belts may be damaged or inaccessible. As a result, passengers may not be able to buckle their seat belts, which could increase the chance of injury in a crash. In addition, a faulty seat belt means that these vehicles do not meet federal safety standards.
Jeep dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the third row seat belts, free of charge.

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.
