What this recall means for you
Certain 2026 Jeep Cherokee vehicles may have a brake system control module that does not operate properly. If it fails, the anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) can stop working.
Losing ABS or ESC makes a crash more likely, especially in emergency braking or on slippery roads, because the systems that help keep the wheels from locking and the vehicle under control would no longer be active.
The remedy is free: an authorized dealer will update the brake system control module software at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2026. You can contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number 29D), and you can check whether your VIN is involved through NHTSA.gov, where affected VINs become searchable beginning April 16, 2026.
