Plain-English summary
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 243 units of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The child seat tether welds on the second-row seat back frame may be insufficient. This defect reduces the seat's ability to properly restrain a child during a crash.
The vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." A child that is not properly restrained during a crash can have an increased risk of injury.
To remedy the issue, dealers will reinforce the child seat tether welds on the seat back frame at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 3, 2024. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
