2021-2022 Jeep Cherokee Curtain Airbag Connector May Fail to Deploy

Chrysler is recalling 2021-2022 Jeep Cherokee vehicles with improperly secured right-side curtain airbag connectors that may prevent deployment, increasing injury risk in a crash.

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: This recall involves a critical safety system (curtain airbag) that may not deploy as intended, creating increased injury risk in a crash. No injuries have been reported and the hazard remains theoretical, making it a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported—the maximum severity for uninjured recalls.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Jeep Cherokee vehicles due to an improperly secured connector for the right-side curtain air bag. This defect may prevent the air bag from deploying as intended in a side-impact collision.

The vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 214 (Side Impact Protection) and 226 (Ejection Mitigation). An air bag that does not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Dealers will secure the connector free of charge. All affected vehicles have been remedied. Contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to verify your vehicle's status.
