CarRecallWatch- Component
- EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
- Problem
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles. Due to a software programming error, any failure with the turn signals would not be communicated to the driver. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- If a turn signal fails, the driver will not be informed and surrounding drivers will not receive indication of the intention to change vehicle direction, which can increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z35.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
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.
