What's wrong?
The body control module in the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE is the electronic controller that tells exterior lights when to turn on, flash, or stay steady. When you press the brake pedal, it should command the stop lamps to glow steadily so drivers behind you see a clear braking signal. The hazard lamps are separate warning flashers, used when the vehicle needs to warn surrounding traffic.
On affected vehicles, the body control module was built with the wrong lighting configuration. During certain braking events, that setting tells the hazard lights to flash when the brake pedal is applied. The problem is not a broken bulb or switch. It is an incorrect body control module setting, and the repair is an updated configuration in that module.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would only see the issue if the hazard lamps flash during braking, which is why the VIN decides whether this recall applies.

What's the safety risk?
Flashing hazard lights during braking can confuse nearby drivers because the vehicle looks like it is signaling a roadside hazard instead of normal braking. That confusion increases crash risk, especially in traffic. Schedule the body control module update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
