2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE owner, CA, NHTSA complaint 11540223, filed August 22, 2023

I own a 2023 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe, and after 4 months and roughly 5000 miles, a bolt in the rear suspension broke, causing significant damage to other parts. On the highway this was very disconcerting and there was a huge amount of lateral shifting over any bump. Definitely not safe.

Can recall 26V562 make my Grand Cherokee L a lemon in California?

Not by itself. A recall repair that fails, or repeat dealer visits for the same defect, can support a California lemon law claim.

A recall by itself does not make a car a lemon. Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, what matters is whether a defect covered by the warranty substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value or safety, and whether the manufacturer or its dealers fixed it within a reasonable number of attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).

Suspension, wheel and tire defects can affect handling and control. Clunks, pulling and vibration that return after a repair point to a defect that has not been fixed.

This is not the first recall for this problem. When a manufacturer has to recall the same coil springs again, that suggests the earlier fix did not work. If your 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L has had this repair more than once, keep every repair order.

Earlier campaigns on these vehicles involving the same component: 23V413000, 26V051000.

For the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, California presumes the manufacturer had enough chances if the Grand Cherokee L went in two or more times for a defect likely to cause death or serious injury, four or more times for the same defect, or spent more than 30 days in the shop (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)). Direct notice to the manufacturer is required for some of these. The presumption is a shortcut, not the only path to a claim.

An owner who prevails in a lemon law case can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.
