- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021 Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee WK, 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2021-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles equipped with 3.6L engines. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve may stick open, resulting in an unexpected loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- An unexpected loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the EGR valve assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z31.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,308 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dodge vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 14 times before this, most recently in August 2017 as 17V496000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 746 complaints with NHTSA, 121 of them before this campaign was filed. 6 of those name the engine and engine cooling, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 23 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V562000 (suspension), 26V528000 (structure), 24V720000 (electrical system), 24V436000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on April 28, 2022 as campaign 22V284000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
