Jeep recall 85B

Jeep calls it 85B. NHTSA filed it as campaign 24V586000 on Aug 8, 2024: child seat on the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 243 vehicles potentially affected. One recall, two numbers — the dealer quotes the manufacturer’s, the federal record carries NHTSA’s.

Problem Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles.  The child seat tether welds on the second-row seat back frame may be insufficient, which can reduce the seat's ability to properly restrain a child during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." Risk A child that is not properly restrained during a crash can have an increased risk of injury. Fix Dealers will reinforce the child seat tether welds on the seat back frame, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 3, 2024. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 85B.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 85B is the number Jeep assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V586000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is 85B the same recall as 24V586000?

Yes. 85B is Jeep’s own number for it; 24V586000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 85B cover?

2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 243 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 85B repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
