What's wrong?
The EGR valve assembly on these 2021-2022 Grand Cherokee 4XE, Durango, and Grand Cherokee vehicles is part of the engine's exhaust and emissions system. EGR means exhaust gas recirculation: the valve meters a small amount of exhaust gas back into the engine so combustion stays controlled while the 3.6L engine runs.
In the recalled vehicles, the EGR valve can stick open instead of closing when the engine needs clean intake air. When that happens, too much exhaust gas enters the engine at the wrong time. The engine can stumble, run poorly, or lose drive power unexpectedly because the combustion process is no longer being fed the right mixture.
Before failure, owners can experience drivability problems or see the malfunction indicator light come on. Treat either sign as a reason to have the VIN checked and the EGR valve inspected by a Jeep dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician replaces the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly. The replacement parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for an EGR valve repair tied to this condition, FCA US's reimbursement process asks customers to send the original receipt or other proof of payment so the expense can be confirmed. Bring that paperwork to the service desk and ask how to submit it.
