What's wrong?
The adaptive cruise control system in the 2014 Durango, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee helps hold a set speed and adjust speed while traffic changes ahead. The accelerator pedal lets the driver override that system when more speed is needed. Under normal operation, the vehicle should stop adding speed when the driver lifts off the pedal.
On affected vehicles, that handoff between the driver's pedal input and adaptive cruise control does not end cleanly. When adaptive cruise control is engaged and the driver presses the accelerator to speed up faster than the cruise system would on its own, the vehicle can keep accelerating for a short time after the pedal is released. That creates an unexpected speed increase when the driver expects the vehicle to settle back under control.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue shows up only during that specific driving sequence: adaptive cruise control on, driver-applied acceleration, then pedal release.
Who's affected?
Durango, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee SUVs are listed with adaptive cruise control and accelerator pedal components for each model.
| 2014 Dodge Durango | Adaptive cruise control |
|---|---|
| 2014 Dodge Durango | Accelerator pedal |
| 2014 Jeep Cherokee | Adaptive cruise control |
| 2014 Jeep Cherokee | Accelerator pedal |
| 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee | Adaptive cruise control |
| 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee | Accelerator pedal |
| Units affected | 6,120 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Unintended continued acceleration can keep the vehicle speeding up after the driver expects it to stop accelerating, increasing the risk of a crash. Treat that behavior as a safety issue and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Dodge Durango, Cherokee, or Grand Cherokee is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule the free Driver Assistance System Module software update.
- Tell the dealer this is recall number 14V293, also listed by Dodge as recall P31.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. The dealer can still confirm the recall by VIN if you do not.
- Turn off adaptive cruise control and drive cautiously until the software update is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dodge technician re-flashes the Driver Assistance System Module, also called the DASM, with updated software. The update corrects how the adaptive cruise control system responds after the driver presses the accelerator to increase speed. The recall repair is free, including the software update and labor. Ask the service desk to confirm recall 14V293 and recall number P31 are completed on the repair order before you leave.

What should I do if my 2014 Dodge Durango, Cherokee, or Grand Cherokee is on this recall?
