Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE Recall 22V249: Turn signal failure may go unnoticed by driver

NHTSA campaign 22V249, reported April 14, 2022, 65 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A software programming error in the body control module means that if a turn signal fails, the driver will not be alerted. The vehicle also does not meet federal lighting safety requirements.

If a turn signal stops working, other drivers will not see your intention to change lanes or turn, which can increase the risk of a crash. Because you would not be warned of the failure, you may not realize the problem exists.

The repair is free. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer, where the body control module software will be updated at no cost. You can also call FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for help, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
