Recall 26V413000: Gear indicator fault on 2022–2024 Grand Cherokees
What the campaign covers, what Jeep is doing about it, and what it means for a California warranty claim.
What the campaign covers
The defect, in plain English
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022–2024 Jeep Grand Cherokees because the instrument-cluster display may fail to show the current gear position. A driver who cannot see which gear the transmission is in may believe the vehicle is in Park when it is not, which increases the risk of unintended rollaway or movement.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration identifies the campaign as 26V413000. Owner letters were mailed 20 August 2026.
What it means in California
Where Song-Beverly fits
A recall is the manufacturer telling the regulator (and owners) that something is wrong. It is not, on its own, a lemon-law claim. California's Song-Beverly Act turns on a different question: has the manufacturer failed to repair the defect in a reasonable number of attempts under warranty?
If a recall repair was performed and the problem returns, that repair counts as a Song-Beverly attempt. If subsequent repairs do not fix it, the Tanner Act presumption may be met when the defect is first reported, and the vehicle is presented for warranty repair, within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first — two attempts for a safety defect, four for other defects, or thirty cumulative days out of service in that window (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22).
What to do next
If your Grand Cherokee is affected
- Keep every repair order, including each recall-repair visit.
- Note the exact dates and odometer readings for each visit.
- Keep the recall notice itself.
- If the problem returns after the recall repair, call the firm.
