Difficulty activating the headlight high beams may result in reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V797
Manufacturer Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Components EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Number of Units Affected 7,082
Summary

Remedy
Dealers will reprogram the vehicles, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 28, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC’s number for this recall is Y66.

New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y66
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2021 Model Year (WL) Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles equipped with Laredo Trim, and without Auto High Beam Headlamp Control [sales code LMS].
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 S9.4 requires that “Each vehicle must have a means of switching between lower and upper beams designed and located so that it may be operated conveniently by a simple movement of the driver’s hand…” If the master lighting switch is set to the auto position, activation of the high beams requires turning the master lighting switch to “ON” and then toggling the stalk.
The inability to conveniently activate high beam headlights may result in reduced visibility for the driver, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to reprogram the vehicle. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2021.

Subject
The high beam headlamps on about 7,000 of the above vehicles may not respond to requests from the high beam switch. If the master lighting switch is set to the auto position, activation of the high beams requires turning the master lighting switch to “ON” and then toggling the stalk.

10/15/2021 New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y66 FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2021 Model Year (WL) Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles equipped with Laredo Trim, and without Auto High Beam Headlamp Control [sales code LMS]. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 S9.4 requires that “Each vehicle must have a means of switching between lower and upper beams designed and located so that it may be operated conveniently by a simple movement of the driver’s hand…” If the master lighting switch is set to the auto position, activation of the high beams requires turning the master lighting switch to “ON” and then toggling the stalk. The inability to conveniently activate high beam headlights may result in reduced visibility for the driver, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. SERVICE ACTION FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to reprogram the vehicle. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2021. We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.
