2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee carries 13 open NHTSA recalls — most recently covering display function and defroster/defogger/hvac system. Owners report 6 recurring issue clusters, led by “Infotainment switch to Italian disabling collision warning.” Jeep vehicles use the Oil Change Indicator system to signal when oil is due. Wrangler and Gladiator owners who actually use 4WD off-road should treat the schedule below as Schedule A (severe) — water crossings, sand, and rock crawling demand differential and transfer case service at half the published intervals. Grand Cherokee and Cherokee follow the standard Mopar schedule.
