Jeep previously stopped official deliveries to Russia. In the summer of 2023, the company already carried out a similar service campaign due to a problem with the rear spring.
Jeep, which has stopped official deliveries to Russia, has announced a recall campaign that affects 328,381 Grand Cherokee SUVs. The reason was the potential for the rear spring to detach while driving. Moreover, the driver will not receive any preliminary signals about the problem, writes Carscoops.
It's all about the lower spring insulator. This part is located at the base to eliminate friction of metal elements. The manufacturer did not go into technical details, but explained that if installed incorrectly, the spring may move and become detached from the car while driving.
The recall covers cars produced in different periods. The list includes 97,477 Jeep Grand Cherokees that rolled off the production line between May 17, 2021 and May 31, 2023 (model years 2022-2023). Also being recalled are 215,433 Grand Cherokee L units (2021-2023) built between December 5, 2020 and May 31, 2023. 15,471 Grand Cherokee PHEVs (2022-2023) manufactured between August 4, 2021 and May 31, 2023 are eligible for repairs.
This is not the first wave of recalls due to this issue. In the summer of 2023, the company already held a similar service promotion. But in September 2025, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notified Jeep of 20 complaints of springs coming off on vehicles that had already been repaired. The manufacturer quickly launched a re-investigation, identifying another 70 similar cases. By August 6, 2026, the number of warranty claims increased to 406, after which the brand management made a final decision on a new recall. Work to replace defective rear spring insulators will be carried out at the company's expense.
