Recall Date: 9/1/2026
NHTSA ID: 26V562
Mfr. Campaign Number: 89D
Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Affected Components: Rear coil spring lower isolator
Potential Number of Units Affected: 328,381
Which Jeep vehicles are affected?
The recall covers three versions of the same model line:
Grand Cherokee L accounts for the largest share of the population at 215,433 units, with Grand Cherokee at 97,477 and Grand Cherokee PHEV at 15,471, for a total of 328,381. FCA US estimates the defect actually appears in about 0.1 percent of that population, and vehicles built with an air suspension system were excluded from the start, since they don't use the coil spring design in question.
The defect is an installation issue rather than a faulty part. On affected vehicles, a rear coil spring may not have been seated correctly when the vehicle was built, which allows the spring to shift out of position over time. In the worst case, a spring that comes out of position can detach from the vehicle entirely while it's being driven, creating a road hazard for other drivers and a risk of a crash without warning.
What drivers need to know
The remedy is a physical repair, not software. Dealers will replace both rear coil spring lower isolators, at no cost to the owner. The campaign does not carry a Do Not Drive or Park Outside advisory. Dealers are expected to be notified on or about September 9, 2026, with interim owner letters mailing between September 29 and October 7, 2026, and a second letter to follow once the remedy schedule is finalized. VINs became searchable at NHTSA.gov/recalls on September 9.
Jeep recall background
This is the third time FCA US has opened a campaign for rear coil spring detachment on this platform, and the history is worth knowing because some owners have already been through this twice. FCA US filed an original recall for the condition in 2023, NHTSA ID 23V-413, followed by a second campaign in early 2026, NHTSA ID 26V-051, after new reports surfaced. This third action, 26V562, opened after NHTSA sent FCA US a pre-investigation request in September 2025 citing 20 complaints about coil spring separation on vehicles that had already received the first repair.
FCA US's own review, completed in August 2026, found 29 customer assistance records and 406 warranty claims tied to the issue since 2023, with no field reports and no known accidents or injuries. What that history tells a dealer is straightforward: some portion of these 328,381 vehicles have already had a coil spring repair once or twice before, and this campaign is not a duplicate notice. It addresses a different failure point than the earlier fixes did.
How BizzyCar can help
A third recall on the same symptom is the hardest kind of letter to get an owner to act on, because a vehicle that's already been in for "the spring thing" looks fixed and drives fine. An owner who assumes this notice repeats one they already handled is an owner who never books the appointment. BizzyCar's Recall Outreach product reaches every affected owner through two-way SMS, where a real conversation can explain that this repair is different from the last one, not a mailer that gets tossed on the assumption that it is.
With 328,381 vehicles in scope and a documented repeat-repair population inside that number, getting the messaging right matters as much as getting the outreach volume right.
