More than 354,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees worldwide have been recalled because the rear coil springs can fall off while they're being driven.
Stellantis, the company that owns Jeep, is recalling more than 354,000 vehicles worldwide because the rear coil springs can fall off while they're being driven.The company says in documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the springs may have been installed incorrectly in production. They can detach from the vehicle while it's moving, increasing the risk of a crash and possibly creating a hazard for other drivers.
Stellantis says in the documents that it's aware of 17 warranty claims, two customer assistance reports and two field reports that may be caused by the problem. But as of May 25 it had no reports of crashes or injuries. Most of the recalled vehicles are in North America. SUVs with air suspensions are not affected. Dealers will inspect the springs and replace the assemblies if necessary. Owners are to be notified by letter starting July 28.
