The side marker lights on your Jeep Grand Cherokee are critical safety features that help other drivers see your vehicle when it's night or in low-light conditions. In some cases, these lights might be damaged and not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If a side marker light doesn't illuminate, other drivers may not see your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash, especially at night or in low-light conditions.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will inspect and replace the body-mounted tail light assemblies, if needed, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and you can contact FCA US, LLC customer service if you have any questions.
