Recall 22V249 affects 65 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE SUVs for missing turn-signal failure alerts. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
Jeep is recalling 65 2022 Grand Cherokee 4XE vehicles because a software error prevents the driver from being warned when a turn signal fails. Without that warning, other drivers do not receive a clear signal before a lane change or turn, which can increase crash risk; Jeep dealers will update the software free of charge.

What's wrong?
The body control module on the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE is the electronic controller that helps run exterior lighting functions, including the turn signals. When a turn signal bulb or circuit fails, the system is supposed to change the flash rate so the driver sees that something is wrong. That faster flashing is the driver's built-in alert to repair the signal.
On affected Grand Cherokee 4XE vehicles, the body control module was built with incorrect configuration parameters. The software can use the same flash rate for normal signaling and for a failed turn indicator, so a turn signal problem is not clearly communicated to the driver. The issue came from a production programming setup, not from the lamp itself.
There is no warning sign before failure. If a turn signal stops working, the driver does not get the required flash-rate change that would normally point to the failed signal.

What's the safety risk?
A failed turn signal leaves you unaware that the signal stopped working and leaves nearby drivers without notice before you turn or change lanes. That loss of communication increases crash risk. There is no warning sign before failure. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?

- Use extra caution before turning or changing lanes until the software update is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician updates the body control module software so the vehicle reports turn signal failures to the driver. The software update, and the dealer labor, are free under recall 22V249. If you've already paid out of pocket for a repair tied to this problem, FCA US says customers should send the original receipt and other adequate proof of payment to the company so it can confirm the expense under its reimbursement practice.
