What's recalled

Component: Exterior lighting (tail lights)

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. The tail light side marker assemblies may be damaged and not illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

A tail light side marker that does not illuminate can reduce vehicle visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will inspect and replace both body-mounted tail light assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 8, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z50.

Status: NHTSA lists Jun 8, 2023 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.

Notes: :

Jeep recall number Z50

NHTSA lists the manufacturer's own recall number for 22V544000 as Z50. Owner letters and dealer service departments often use this code, so a search for "Z50 recall" refers to the same campaign.

Affected models and years
