Summary
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles. Due to a software programming error, any failure with the turn signals would not be communicated to the driver. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”
Remedy
Dealers will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC’s number for this recall is Z35.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a turn signal flash rate at the same flash rate designed to indicate a failed turn indicator and would not indicate a significant change in the flashing rate if/when there is a failure of one or more turn signal lamps. This could cause a crash without prior warning.
The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 S9.3.6 which requires that “Failure of one or more turn signal lamps […] must be indicated by the turn signal pilot indicator by […] a significant change in the flashing rate”.
