Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee Coil Spring Recall and Related Lawsuit

Chrysler is conducting a recall affecting 328,381 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles because the rear coil springs may detach while the vehicle is in operation. This recall, which covers specific models from the 2021-2023 model years, was announced because a detached rear coil spring poses a significant crash risk and can create a road hazard for other drivers.

The underlying legal issue mentioned is a class action lawsuit claiming that Chrysler misrepresented the safety and dependability of its Jeep Wrangler 4XE and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE plug-in hybrid electric SUVs that have undergone multiple recalls. The recall itself mandates that Chrysler will replace the rear coil spring lower isolators at no cost to the owner.

For the recall, owners are urged to seek repairs as soon as possible, and the company will notify vehicle owners by September 29. While the content notes that Chrysler is not currently facing legal action over the specific coil spring recall, it mentions the ongoing class action lawsuit regarding misrepresentation.
