Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: an unsecured connector can prevent the side airbags deploying, removing occupant protection in a side impact.
Plain-English summary
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. Fourteen vehicles are potentially affected.

Dealers secured the connector free of charge, and all affected vehicles have been remedied. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 17, 2024. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403, referencing recall number B3B, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
