What this recall means for you
On certain 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles without automatic high beams, the high beam headlights will not turn on when the master lighting switch is set to Auto. The driver must first move the switch to the On position before high beams will activate. This means the vehicle does not meet federal lighting safety requirements.
Difficulty activating the high beams can reduce visibility at night, which increases the risk of a crash.
