VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles. Due to a software issue in the body control module (BCM), the windshield wipers may fail.
- What it can cause
- Windshield wiper failure can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the body control module (BCM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters will be mailed beginning September 3, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 77D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on August 20, 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 81 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% 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 visibility 7 times before this, most recently in June 2025 as 25V430000. 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 28 complaints with NHTSA, 8 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V559000 (tires), 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V328000 (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 August 13, 2026 as campaign 26V529000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
