AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. An improperly secured connector for the front seat side air bags (SAB) may prevent the air bags from deploying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
- What it can cause
- An air bag that does not deploy during a crash increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers secured the connector, free of charge. All affected vehicles have been remedied. Owner notification letters were mailed December 17, 2024. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is B3B.
- 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 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 14 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 33 times before this, most recently in July 2024 as 24V516000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,147 complaints with NHTSA, 228 of them before this campaign was filed. 32 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2022, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 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 November 27, 2024 as campaign 24V897000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
