What's wrong?
The front energy absorbing foam sits behind the front fascia on the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is part of the bumper area that helps manage crash forces at the front of the SUV. That structure also helps the crash sensors read the impact correctly so the front airbags deploy as designed.
On affected Grand Cherokees, the front fascia was built without that energy absorbing foam. Without the foam in place, the front bumper structure does not match the design used to certify occupant crash protection. In a frontal crash, that missing piece can interfere with crash sensing and airbag timing, so the front airbags do not deploy as intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not hear, feel, or see this defect during normal driving, because the problem is a missing part hidden behind the front fascia.
Who's affected?
The same front energy absorber appears in the body-structure and front-air-bag component listings.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician inspects the vehicle for missing front bumper energy absorbing foam and installs the foam where needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you've paid out of pocket for this same foam-related repair, FCA US says customers should send the original receipt and/or other adequate proof of payment to the company so it can confirm the expense.
