A recall has been announced for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) discovered deficiencies in the child seat tether anchor. This recall is assigned the number 24V586000. The fault lies in the insufficiency of the tether welds on the second-row seat back frame, which poses a risk in case of a crash. These vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, Child Restraint Anchorage Systems, thus necessitating the recall. There is a heightened chance of injury to a child if they are not properly restrained during a crash.
It is important to note that the manufacturer, Chrysler (FCA US, LLC), is taking robust action to address this issue. They have arranged for dealers to reinforce the child seat tether welds on the second-row seat back frame at no cost to vehicle owners.
