Component
CHILD SEAT:VEHICLE TETHER ANCHOR
Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The tether anchor on your Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a critical part that holds a child seat in place. In some 2021-2022 models, a crucial weld is missing, which can cause the anchor to come loose during a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tether anchor separates from the seat frame in a crash, the child seat could move around freely, putting your child at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will inspect the seat back frame and replace it if needed to ensure the tether anchor is securely attached. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
