2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension control arm separation risk

Certain 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles may have a defective upper control arm ball joint that can separate from the steering knuckle, causing the wheel to fall outward and loss of vehicle control.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The defect is structural (suspension ball joint separation causing wheel separation), but no injuries or crashes have been reported. This meets the Score 3 criterion: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
