What this recall means for you
Certain Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles may have damaged tail light side marker assemblies that do not illuminate. This means the vehicle does not fully meet federal lighting requirements under FMVSS 108, which governs lamps and reflective devices.
A side marker that fails to light can make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see, especially at night or in poor conditions, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should not wait to have the issue checked.
The repair is free. Dealers will inspect and replace both body-mounted tail light assemblies as needed at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 8, 2023.
