Chrysler is recalling approximately 36,900 model-year 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles equipped with smart lighting modules (SLM) due to a software issue. An incomplete SLM software update may cause one or both headlights to become inoperable, reducing visibility for the driver and oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 28, 2022. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To resolve the issue, dealers will reprogram the smart lighting module software.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
