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 2,802 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% 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.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 10 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V580000. 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 1,622 complaints with NHTSA, 227 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 29 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V495000 (seat belts), 26V363000 (steering), 25V765000 (air bags), 25V741000 (electrical system).
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 October 13, 2022 as campaign 22V766000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
