What's wrong?
The radiator crossmember on the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and Grand Cherokee is a structural bar at the front of the vehicle near the radiator. It helps support the cooling hardware and ties the front-end structure to the body. Bolts hold that crossmember in place so the front structure reacts as designed in a crash.
On affected vehicles, the radiator crossmember bolts were not fully tightened during assembly. This is an assembly issue, not a defective bolt. If the bolts do not clamp the crossmember securely to the body, the front structure does not have the intended support under crash forces. That condition can lead to improper air bag deployment and a fuel leak during a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a reliable signal that these bolts were left loose.
