It names 2 model years (2026).

Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationWhat it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.
Flash: Power Liftgate Module (PLGM) Updates Customers may experience one or more of the following symptoms: SYMPTOM: ● **Continuous chime is heard in the trunk area and does not stop with closing the liftgate, ignition shut off or CAN bus going to sleep. ● Vehicle may not start because the battery has become depleted due to: ○ Noise on the CAN bus. ○ Liftgate left open for more than few hours. ○ Continuous chime. ● Power Liftgate is not responding when first attempting to open after vehicle has sat for an extended period of time. ● Customer is unable to open the liftgate.** ● Power Liftgate does not open using the front interior switch, key fob, Hands Free Entry (HFE) kick or exterior handle. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may display "Liftgate Open", a warning light may illuminate even though the liftgate appears fully closed, and an audible chime may be generated at speeds above 8 kph (5 mph). ● The power liftgate system chimes when trying to operate the liftgate using a HFE kick while no key is detected in the zone. ● After enabling or disabling the HFE kick or the Power Liftgate Alert feature, the PLGM does not save the changes. ● The power liftgate latch releases after pressing the exterior handle switch, but the liftgate does not power open. This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the PLGM with the latest available software.

Read by machine from the document NHTSA serves (3 pages), read Sep 29, 2026. A part number is shown only where it matches Jeep’s own catalogue shape, an operation only with its code and time, and a description only where the reader got it whole; anything it could not settle is left out, and the PDF is the record. Times are the manufacturer’s warranty allowances, not a quote. Listings and prices on eBay Motors are the seller’s.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 3 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 1 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jeep 08-069-26 REV. A a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 08-069-26 REV. A repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does 08-069-26 REV. A cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 2026 Jeep Wagoneer. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: built on or before 14 Jan 2026 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
