Just a month after the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L was recalled due to an issue with the reversing camera, a new recall for the SUV has been announced.
The NHTSA states that in 2021 Grand Cherokee L models not equipped with automatic high beams, when the master lightning switch is set to the auto position the high beam will not activate unless the switch is first changed to the “on” position.
The issue means that impacted vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 S9.4 which requires that “each vehicle must have a means of switching between lower and upper beams designed and located so that it may be operated conveniently by a simple movement of the driver’s hand.”

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US first recognized a programming issue existed on certain vehicles without automatic high beams on September 15 and later determined that impacted vehicles were built between December 8, 2020 and August 25, 2021 when updated vehicle programming was implemented. A total of 7,082 vehicles are involved in the recall.
The automaker will notify dealers and owners on or around December 3, 2021 and reprogram the vehicles to resolve the issue. FCA US will also reimburse any owners that have previously paid to have the issue repaired.
This recall comes four weeks after the Grand Cherokee L was recalled because the radio software can malfunction during shutdown, preventing an image from the reversing camera from displaying.
