EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. When the master headlight switch is set to the AUTO position, the driver may be unable to quickly activate the high beams. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- High beam headlights that do not activate as intended can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reconfigure the vehicle high beam parameters, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 7, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 12B.
- 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 9,433 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, 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 exterior lighting 10 times before this, most recently in August 2023 as 23V565000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 619 complaints with NHTSA, 84 of them before this campaign was filed. 23 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V562000 (suspension), 26V559000 (tires), 26V413000 (power train), 26V328000 (air bags).
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 February 22, 2024 as campaign 24V130000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
