A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationFlash: Folding Seat Module (FSM) Update The customer may describe the following: ? **Third row seats stuck in down/cargo position and will not return to the upright seat position with the auto up button. Customers will not be able to unfold the seats from one button press.** ? The third row seats are misaligned between the right and left either in folded or unfolded positions. ? If a customer hits an obstacle while folding the third row seats, the seats will reverse (obstacle detection).

Upon further investigation the technician may find that the following Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been set: ? B1F28-54-Third row seat LT- recline motor 1 - missing calibration.** This bulletin involves performing a software update and calibration routine on the FSM.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 273 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 147 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.
On the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer, the 13 owners who gave an odometer reading for Electrical System reported it at a median of 33,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.
Started with the cold weather in December. I got a notification that I need to service the Power Steering system. Lasted for two drives and then went away. Approximately two weeks later, while driving my family in town, the power steering light came on again. Came to a stop at a stop sign and the car put itself in Park.

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 0821423 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 0821423 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. Every Stellantis warranty extension on file lists the ones Stellantis has filed.
Which vehicles does 0821423 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
