| Recall / TSB | Issue | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| NHTSA 24V-720, expanded by NHTSA 25V-741 | 4xe high-voltage battery fire risk, "park outside" recall | major |
| NHTSA 23V-352 (FCA recall 58A) | Steering intermediate shaft disconnect (recall) | major |

Recall work is free at a franchised dealer regardless of the vehicle's age, mileage, or how many owners it has had. Check your VIN against the NHTSA database to see what is still outstanding on your specific vehicle, a recall listed here may already have been performed.
4xe high-voltage battery fire risk, "park outside" recall
majorCertain 4xe plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokees (and Wranglers) may have high-voltage battery packs with cell separator damage that can lead to a vehicle fire, whether parked or driving. NHTSA and FCA told owners to park outside and away from structures and not to charge the vehicle until repaired; an initial recall remedy (24V-720) was later found insufficient and expanded under a second recall.
Steering intermediate shaft disconnect (recall)
majorSome 2022–2023 Grand Cherokees may have been built with an incorrectly assembled steering column intermediate shaft (the joint connecting the steering wheel to the steering gear), which can separate and cause a total loss of steering control. Dealers inspect and, if needed, replace or properly secure the shaft.
Rear coil spring detachment (recall)
moderateRear coil springs on some 2021–2023 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles may have been installed incorrectly and can detach from the vehicle while driving, increasing crash risk. FCA issued an initial recall in mid-2023 covering roughly 80,000 vehicles, and NHTSA/FCA records show a further expanded coil-spring recall issued later. Dealers inspect and correct spring seating/retention.
Early 4xe stop-sale / stranded-vehicle reports
moderateShortly after the 4xe's 2022 launch, some owners reported being stranded by software or 12V-related faults, and reporting suggested a temporary stop-sale affected new 4xe deliveries while FCA investigated. Largely a first-model-year teething issue addressed via software updates rather than an ongoing pattern in later production.
Electrical gremlins: power window, tailgate, and infotainment glitches
minorOwner forums for the WL generation report scattered electrical issues, a power window that stops working, intermittent power-tailgate faults, and infotainment freezes/reboots. These are inconsistently reported (not a single documented defect pattern) and often resolved with a module reset, software update, or minor repair rather than pointing to one root cause.
Problems listed here are compiled from NHTSA complaints, recalls, technical service bulletins, and widely documented owner reports for the 2022–2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Not every vehicle will experience these issues.
