Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a safety-critical system (windshield defrosting/defogging). No injuries or deaths have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles. The blower motor in these vehicles may fail, which can cause the defrosting and defogging system to become inoperative.

These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, which sets requirements for windshield defrosting and defogging systems.

Approximately 1,689 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 8, 2025. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or visit their dealer.
