Problem
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Dodge Durango and 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The steering gear rack bar may have been insufficiently hardened during manufacturing, possibly allowing it to bind within the steering rack, and resulting in difficulty steering or a loss of steering control.
Risk
Difficulty steering, or a loss of steering control, can increase the risk of a crash.
Fix
Dealers will replace the steering gear assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 12, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-852-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z18.

Used 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee buyer's checklist

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 24 recalls this year — ask for proof of repairs.
  2. Safety-critical recall. At least one recall carries a "Do Not Drive" or "Park Outside" warning. Do not buy until the VIN shows it was repaired.
  3. Electrical System — 205 owner reports. Test every window, lock, light, screen and USB port; check the battery age.
  4. Engine — 76 owner reports. Cold-start the engine, listen for knocking, and watch for warning lights or hesitation on acceleration.
  5. Forward Collision Avoidance › Warnings — 74 owner reports. Make sure driver-assist systems and the backup camera work without error messages.
  6. Mileage to watch. Owners typically reported problems around 24,000 miles; ask what was repaired near that point.
  7. Hybrid system. Check for hybrid-system warning lights and ask whether the high-voltage battery has been replaced or is still under warranty.
  8. Before you pay: service records, a history report and an independent inspection.
