Stellantis to Recall Over 120,000 U.S. Vehicles Due to Head Restraints Issue
Stellantis is pulling 121,398 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs off American roads after U.S. safety regulators found that second‑row head restraints can slip out of position during a crash, increasing the chance of neck injury for passengers. The recall, disclosed in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing, covers 2023 and early‑production‑2024 models built at the company’s Detroit Assembly Complex.
Dealers will inspect the head‑restraint locking mechanism and replace faulty assemblies free of charge; owner notices are slated to begin in mid‑August, and Stellantis says the fix will take less than an hour. A parallel campaign will address about 10,500 vehicles in Canada and Mexico, bringing the North American total above 130,000. The automaker told regulators it is unaware of any crashes or injuries linked to the defect.
The action is Stellantis’ ninth U.S. recall this year and adds fresh scrutiny to its quality record as it juggles costly EV rollouts and tariff headwinds. Shares slipped about 1 percent in early European trading before recovering, while analysts noted that prompt remediation and limited parts complexity should cap warranty costs.
