ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. The brake system control module may fail to operate properly, which can cause a loss of anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC).
- What it can cause
- A loss of anti-lock brakes or electronic stability control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the brake system control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2026. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 29D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning April 16, 2026.
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 241 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% 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 one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the electronic stability control (esc) once before this, most recently in October 2014 as 14V636000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V559000 (tires), 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V059000 (exterior lighting).
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 9, 2026 as campaign 26V223000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
