What's wrong?
The front steering knuckle on a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the metal part that ties the front wheel assembly to the steering and suspension. It holds the wheel hub in position and gives the ball joint a solid place to attach, so steering input and road forces stay controlled.
On affected Grand Cherokee vehicles, the steering knuckle was not finished correctly during machining. Because that surface is wrong, the ball joint is not seated correctly and the ball joint nut is not fully torqued. That weak connection can separate between the ball joint and the knuckle. If it separates while driving, the wheel can fall outward and the driver can lose control.
Owners can notice noise or vibration while driving before the part separates. Treat new front-end noise, shaking, or vibration as a warning sign and have the vehicle checked under recall 24V131.
