Jeep Recalls 338,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs – Kelley Blue Book

Jeep has issued a recall for more than 338,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs from model years 2021 through 2023 because a crucial part of the steering system can fail, causing a loss of control.

The company tells federal safety regulators, “The upper control arm ball joint and steering knuckle may separate and cause the wheel to fall outward.” Bolts in the joint may have been damaged during assembly. The recall affects only cars built on specific dates.

According to Jeep, as the problem develops, drivers may notice an abnormal noise when driving over bumps. Jeep says it knows of no accidents or injuries but at least 18 warranty claims related to the issue.

The problem comes less than a year after many of the same cars were recalled due to separating rear suspension parts.

Dealers will replace the bolts to fix the problem. Recall repairs are always free.

Manufacturers try to reach every owner to warn them. But some always fall through the cracks in the system, and drivers unknowingly operate recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls.
