This is the third time NHTSA has recalled the Grand Cherokee's rear coil springs, so I counted the complaints owners filed on the 2021 to 2023 model years against that pattern. A complaint is tallied once against its model year's total, and again in every system category the owner checked on the NHTSA form.
What does the new recall cover?
NHTSA received Jeep's newest recall report, campaign 26V562000, on September 1, 2026. It covers the rear coil springs on certain 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee L, 2022-2023 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles. Jeep told NHTSA that a rear coil spring may not have been seated correctly and can detach from the vehicle while driving, which raises the risk of a crash.
The remedy this time is different from before: dealers will replace the rear coil spring's lower isolators, free of charge. Jeep expects to mail interim notification letters September 29, 2026, with a final remedy letter to follow. VINs became searchable at NHTSA's recall site on September 9.
NHTSA's own recall report puts the population at 328,381 vehicles. That count is NHTSA's, not RideTruth's; our own complaint counts further down come from a separate pull of our database.
Why is this the third recall for the same part?
Because the first two didn't hold. NHTSA's recall history for the Grand Cherokee's rear coil springs now runs three campaigns deep, and NHTSA's own filings say each one replaces the last.
| Campaign | Filed | NHTSA's population | Remedy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23V413000 | Jun 8, 2023 | 305,282 | Inspect and repair, free |
| 26V051000 | Jan 29, 2026 | 80,620 | Inspect and repair; replaces 23V413000 |
| 26V562000 | Sep 1, 2026 | 328,381 | Replace lower isolators; replaces both |
NHTSA's filing for 26V562000 says plainly that a vehicle already repaired under either earlier campaign still needs the new remedy performed. If your Grand Cherokee had its coil springs looked at in 2023 or earlier this year, that repair is not the current one.
How do I check my Grand Cherokee's VIN?
It takes about a minute.
- Find the 17-character VIN, visible through the windshield on the driver's side of the dashboard, stamped on the driver door jamb, and printed on your registration.
- Type it into NHTSA's recall lookup.
- Read the result. If 26V562000 is open on your car, it shows up there by campaign number, alongside 23V413000 or 26V051000 if either ever applied.
Don't go by model year alone. A 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee is only a possible match; the VIN, and the specific trim (Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L or 4xe), decide it.
What do Grand Cherokee owners report?
Owners had filed 402 NHTSA complaints on the 2021 Grand Cherokee, 258 on the 2022 and 380 on the 2023, as of September 16, 2026.
Treat that chart with care. These are raw reports, not adjusted for how many Grand Cherokees Jeep sold in each year or how long they've been on the road, so an older year has had more time to collect complaints. As the about page explains, complaints are owner reports, not confirmed defects or a failure rate. Every complaint count on this page excludes any complaint filed with an impossible date, such as one dated before the model year went on sale or after today.
Complaints naming suspension, wheels or tires don't track the total evenly. They were 35 on the 2021 (8.7% of that year's total), 22 on the 2022 (8.5%) and 62 on the 2023 (16.3%), nearly double the other two years' share.
A complaint naming "suspension, wheels or tires" is not the same as a complaint about a rear coil spring specifically; the category also covers wheel bearings, tire wear and other suspension parts. It doesn't prove the recalled part caused any one of these reports, and it doesn't explain the 2023's higher share on its own: all three recalls cover 2021 through 2023 alike, not just the 2023. It's the closest count our taxonomy has to the area this recall sits in.
Next steps for a Grand Cherokee owner
Run the VIN first. After that, the 2023 Grand Cherokee page keeps its recalls and complaint areas in one place and updates when NHTSA's data does. The Grand Cherokee hub covers every model year. If you already track this Jeep in your garage, a new campaign like 26V562000 shows up there the next time you check back, without a separate VIN lookup.
