Yahoo Autos Jeep recalls 340,000 crossovers and SUVs over faulty software
It's been a tough summer for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L, the highly popular SUVs going on their fourth recall of the season. It started innocently enough, with roughly 17,000 units dragged into an action in May over missing air bag warning labels. The ante went up a week later with almost 90,000 units recalled over a steering column that had possibly been installed incorrectly. Doubling down on the trend in June, 331,401 units had to see dealers over rear springs that could potentially detach from the vehicle while driving. The severity and number of vehicles involved this time are smaller, thankfully. The recall is to address a potentially faulty rearview camera system. In certain units, software in the central vision processing/park assist module (CVPAM) might prevent the camera image from reaching the infotainment screen.
This action also affects the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The model years and unit count for each is:
2022-2023 Grand Cherokee, 60,164 units
2021-2023 Grand Cherokee L, 59,508 units
2022-2024 Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer, 43,041 units
