Recently, we learned from foreign media that Stellantis Group announced the recall of its Jeep Grand Cherokee and RAM ProMaster models, totaling more than 350,000 vehicles. This includes 338,238 Jeep Grand Cherokees produced between 2021 and 2023; 9,433 Jeep Grand Cherokees produced between 2023 and 2024; and 27,744 RAM Promaster models produced between 2022 and 2023.
The recall of Jeep Grand Cherokees produced between 2021 and 2023 is due to the risk of the steering device breaking, which may cause the wheels to fall off and make noise while driving. Jeep said the relevant parts may have been damaged during the manufacturing process, and it is estimated that about 1% of vehicles have the above-mentioned problem. Jeep will replace risky steering mechanism parts for owners free of charge through vehicle recalls.
The recall of Jeep Grand Cherokee produced between 2023 and 2024 is due to a problem with the vehicle’s high beam controller. If the light switch is set to Auto, the vehicle may not be able to turn on the high beams. Jeep will recall the affected vehicles and update the software to resolve the issue.
The reason for the recall of RAM Promaster models produced between 2022 and 2023 is that the vehicle may have a problem with the seat belt switch sensing magnet malfunctioning. Even when the driver fastens the seat belt, the vehicle may still prompt that the seat belt is not fastened.
