Urgent Safety Alert: Stellantis Recalls 92,000 Popular Jeep Grand Cherokee L Models Over Critical Software Flaw

Hold onto your seats, Jeep Grand Cherokee L owners! Stellantis, the automotive giant behind the iconic Jeep brand, has just announced a significant safety recall impacting approximately 92,000 units of its highly popular 2022 and 2023 Grand Cherokee L models. This is not just a minor fix; it's a crucial update aimed at addressing a potentially serious software flaw that could affect critical safety systems.

The core of the issue lies within the vehicle's integrated braking control module.

A software malfunction has been identified that could, under specific circumstances, lead to the sudden deactivation of both the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems. For drivers, this translates to a heightened risk of losing control, particularly during emergency braking or evasive maneuvers, significantly increasing the potential for a crash.

These systems are cornerstones of modern vehicle safety.

ABS prevents wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control, while ESC helps prevent skids and loss of traction by selectively applying brakes and reducing engine power. A failure in either of these systems dramatically compromises a vehicle's ability to react safely to challenging road conditions or sudden hazards, turning a state-of-the-art SUV into a potentially unpredictable machine.

Stellantis is urging all affected owners to take this recall seriously.

The good news is that the remedy is straightforward and, crucially, free of charge. Owners will need to bring their vehicles to an authorized Jeep dealership, where technicians will perform a software update on the integrated braking control module. This update is designed to permanently resolve the identified flaw and restore full functionality to the ABS and ESC systems, ensuring your Grand Cherokee L operates as safely as intended.

Notifications to affected owners are scheduled to be mailed out around November 2025.

In the meantime, if you own a 2022 or 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and are concerned, you can contact Stellantis customer service or your local Jeep dealership. You can also visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website at NHTSA.gov and enter your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to check for open recalls.

The NHTSA campaign number for this recall is 25V-678.

While recalls can be unsettling, they are a vital part of ensuring consumer safety. Stellantis is taking proactive steps to rectify this issue, demonstrating a commitment to the well-being of its customers. Owners are strongly encouraged not to delay in getting this critical software update.

Your safety, and the safety of your passengers, depends on it.
