ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE · filed 09/20/2026

ABS module completely malfunctioned from a shortage. Threw up 7 different codes, even threw up my check engine light for a bit. Can’t even use cruise control because my “memory system” and “park sense” are unavailable. Sometimes it makes the wheel super stiff and the acceleration and break pedals super sticky. I see many recalls for 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s, and believe mine should be included.

Questions, answered

Are recalls free to fix?

Yes. In the US, safety recalls are repaired free of charge by the manufacturer at an authorized dealer, no matter how old the car is. Call your dealer's service department, give them your VIN, and book the repair.

How do I know if my car is affected by a recall?

Recalls cover specific production ranges, so two cars of the same model and year can differ. The surest check is your VIN: call the dealer or use the NHTSA VIN lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls. The campaign numbers on this page are what the dealer uses to look it up.

What should I do if my car has an open recall?

Don't wait — book the free repair with an authorized dealer. If a recall says to park outside or not drive the car, follow that instruction: it usually means a fire or stall risk. Recall repairs are free and the dealer has the parts or will order them.

Not repair advice. Recall summaries are the official NHTSA text; complaint excerpts are what owners filed with NHTSA. If your car has an open recall, book the free repair with an authorized dealer.
