INEOS Grenadier Lemon Law

INEOS recalled certain 2023–2024 Grenadier SUVs (NHTSA 25V147) because non-locking nuts may have been mistakenly installed on the steering rod ball joint. A loose or missing nut can let the ball joint disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a loss of steering while driving — one of the most dangerous defects a vehicle can have.

Separately, certain 2024 Grenadiers with the auxiliary switch package can have the relay control wire pinched under a fastener during assembly, damaging the insulation and risking a short circuit and fire; and some 2024 door button mechanisms were assembled without enough grease, so a door may not fully latch and can open while the vehicle is moving. In NHTSA complaint data, owners most often flag the electrical system, powertrain, and service brakes.

As a rugged, expensive off-roader still early in its U.S. life, the Grenadier's teething problems can be significant, and parts and service can take time. If a substantial safety defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, or the vehicle is out of service for an extended time, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement — with INEOS paying your attorney fees.

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it's the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free repair. California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Act) comes into play when a substantial defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, or when your Grenadier has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days.

If your INEOS Grenadier qualifies, you may be entitled to a buyback (a refund of what you've paid, minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement — and INEOS pays your attorney fees on a successful claim, so pursuing your case costs you nothing out of pocket.
