What are the 5 driver controls that you worth the most in your car? We ask since 1 of the controls that will most assuredly be integrated on your list – the steering wheel, has been compromised by a manufacturing error at the plant that tends to make the 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee L.

As a outcome, the automaker is launching a recall campaign on 89,372 automobiles in the U.S. more than fears that their steering columns may possibly have been incorrectly assembled. Jeep launched an investigation into the possibility on February 27, 2023, following getting a report of a prospective “loss of steering condition.”

Its investigation located 15 warranty claims relating to a steering column situation, but located no consumer help records and no field reports connected to the situation. As a outcome, it is not conscious of any accidents, injuries, or deaths connected to this manufacturing error.

However, it did learn that particular automobiles that left the line at its not too long ago opened Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack had a steering column that may possibly have been improperly repaired for the duration of the assembly method, resulting in the incorrect installation of their intermediate shaft.

In its evaluation, Jeep found that the improperly fitted intermediate shaft could disconnect from the u-joint, eventually top to a loss of steering handle. Obviously, that is poor news for drivers, and could lead to a crash. Drivers may possibly be alerted to the dilemma if they notice play in the steering or a noise when the car is turning.

Jeep says that the dilemma potentially impacts 35,401 Jeep Grand Cherokee L SUVs produced amongst January 27, 2021, and April four, 2023, as properly as 53,965 Grand Cherokees constructed amongst October 19, 2021, and April four, 2023.

To remedy the situation, Jeep will conduct a voluntary recall on all impacted automobiles. It will inspect them and replace the intermediate shaft exactly where essential. The automaker plans to start off receiving in touch with owners on July 7.
