NHTSA Recall 26V562000: Jeep Grand Cherokee Rear Coil Springs May Detach

What the recall covers

Recall 26V562000 (Chrysler reference 89D) covers 328,381 Jeep SUVs — 2021–2023 Grand Cherokee L, 2022–2023 Grand Cherokee and 2022–2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe — whose rear coil springs may be incorrectly installed and detach from the vehicle while driving. NHTSA records the consequence as an increased risk of a crash. This recall replaces two earlier campaigns, 26V051 and 23V413, and vehicles already repaired under those recalls still need the new remedy.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the rear coil spring lower isolators, free of charge. Interim owner letters were scheduled to be mailed September 29, 2026, with additional letters to follow when the final remedy is available. VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026. NHTSA does not list a park-outside or do-not-drive instruction. Vehicles that were already repaired under 26V051 or 23V413 need this new remedy as well.

What owners should do now

• Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — lookup has been open since September 9 — and do not assume an earlier coil spring repair means you are finished.
• Listen for clunks, rattles, or banging from the rear on bumps, and look for a rear corner that sits lower than the other side. Report any of these immediately, in those words.
• If a spring appears to have shifted or you hear metal on metal from the rear, stop driving and have the vehicle towed.
• Keep the paperwork from any earlier coil spring repair under 26V051 or 23V413 — it proves how many repair attempts have already been made.
• Whatever the fix, insist on a written repair order that records the date, the mileage, and your specific complaint. A repair order is what turns a recall visit into evidence if the problem comes back.

How to check your VIN

Confirm coverage by entering the 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or Mopar's recall lookup. This campaign replaces 26V051 and 23V413, so a VIN may show those as completed while this one remains open. VINs became searchable September 9, 2026.

When this recall can become a California lemon law claim

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it is the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free fix. Your Jeep may qualify under California's Lemon Law if the recall repair is significantly delayed, doesn't resolve the problem, or your vehicle has other unrepaired warranty defects. In those cases you may be entitled to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement, with the manufacturer paying your attorney fees. For the full breakdown, see the guides below.
