What's wrong?
The child seat tether anchor on the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the metal attachment point used by a forward-facing child seat. It is welded to the second-row seat back frame, so the child seat tether has a fixed point that helps hold the seat in place during a crash.
In NHTSA campaign 24V586, the issue is the weld at that second-row tether anchor. Some vehicles were built with defective welds on the anchor, which reduces the seat's ability to properly restrain a child in a crash. The repair uses a reinforced second-row seat back child tether anchor designed to exceed the required strength standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The anchor is behind the normal trim and does not give the driver a light, sound, or visible change before it is needed in a crash.
