What's wrong?
The body controller module on a 2023-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the vehicle computer that manages many lighting commands. When the master headlight switch is set to AUTO, it reads the lighting settings and driver inputs, then tells the headlamps when to switch between low beam and high beam operation.
On affected Grand Cherokee vehicles, the problem is the vehicle configuration, not a burned-out bulb or a damaged headlight switch. Some vehicles were built without the Auto High Beam Headlamp Control feature, or with configuration settings that do not handle a high-beam request correctly when the master lighting switch is in AUTO. That means the driver can request high beams and not get them quickly in that switch position.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue shows up when the driver tries to activate the high beams with the lighting switch set to AUTO.

What's the safety risk?
High beam headlights that fail to activate as intended reduce nighttime visibility and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the lighting problem appears. Use extra care at night and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jeep dealer to schedule the free software update that restores quick high-beam activation when the headlight switch is in AUTO.
- Bring the recall notice if Jeep mailed one, and reference recall number 24V130 when you call.
- Use extra caution at night until the update is complete; confirm the high beams work before driving in low-visibility conditions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician reconfigures the vehicle high beam parameters so the high beams can be activated correctly when the master headlight switch is in AUTO. The software update is free under recall 24V130, and owner letters were mailed March 7, 2024. FCA US offers reimbursement for owners who already paid for this repair before the recall notice.
