AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2023-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. A software error in the occupant restraint controller module may cause the delayed deployment of the side air bags during a crash. 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
- Delayed air bag deployment during a crash increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the occupant restraint controller module software, free of charge. Some owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 18, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 01D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on May 28, 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 419,035 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 34 times before this, most recently in November 2024 as 24V897000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,119 complaints with NHTSA, 916 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, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 30 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V562000 (suspension), 26V559000 (tires), 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V529000 (visibility).
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 May 21, 2026 as campaign 26V328000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
