Recall counts are NHTSA campaign records; complaint counts are consumer reports. Complaints are unverified reports submitted by consumers to NHTSA.

Crash, fire, injury and death reports

Across those consumer complaints, NHTSA’s records for the Grand Cherokee (MY 2017–2026) include 168 crash reports, 32 fire reports, 120 injury reports and 2 reports of a death. Complaints are unverified reports submitted by consumers to NHTSA.

Do recalls affect what the Grand Cherokee costs to own?

No direct cost. A recall is a free remedy: the manufacturer must repair the defect at no charge, so an open or completed recall adds nothing to the 5-year cost of ownership.
Resale is the one caveat. An unrepaired recall can make a used Grand Cherokee harder to sell or trade in — a buyer or dealer may want it fixed first — but the fix itself is still free, and completing it removes that friction.
How our totals treat it. Our 5-year cost-of-ownership totals use market-level depreciation estimates; they are not adjusted per recall campaign. See the honest 5-year cost to own: Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo cost to own →.

Recalls & complaints — FAQ

How many recalls does the Jeep Grand Cherokee have?

As of July 10, 2026, NHTSA lists 49 recall campaigns for the Jeep Grand Cherokee (MY 2017–2026). Each is a free remedy — the manufacturer repairs the defect at no cost. The full dated campaign list is above.

How do I check if my Grand Cherokee has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN at NHTSA’s free recall lookup, nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows any open (unrepaired) recall for your exact vehicle, and recall repairs are always free at a franchised dealer.

Do recalls make the Grand Cherokee cheaper or more expensive to own?

Neither, directly — recall repairs are free, so they add nothing to the cost of ownership. An unrepaired recall can make a used one harder to resell, but our 5-year cost totals use market-level depreciation and are not adjusted per campaign. See the Grand Cherokee cost to own.
