Stellantis is recalling over 354,000 Jeeps worldwide because they run the risk of crashing due to defects.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed Tuesday that 2022 and 2023 Grand Cherokee and 2021 to 2023 Grand Cherokee L SUVs "were built with a rear coil spring that may not be correctly installed, allowing the coil spring to come out of position."

According to the recall report, an estimated 13% of 331,401 vehicles have the defect.

Detachment of the improperly installed rear coil springs "may result in a hazard to operators and occupants of other vehicles which can cause such vehicles to crash without prior warning and/or may result in injury to vulnerable road users."

Stellantis will begin formally notifying dealers and owners about the issue on July 28. The company's proposed remedy is an inspection and potential repair of the rear coil spring assembly on all recalled vehicles.

The company claimed that since April 5, 17 warranty claims, two customer assistance reports, and two field reports related to this issue have come to its attention.

USA Today reported that these same vehicles were recalled in May because an incorrectly assembled steering column intermediate shaft could disconnect from the U-joint, thereby jeopardizing drivers' steering control of the vehicle. Ultimately, 53,965 Grand Cherokee and 35,407 Grand Cherokee L SUVs were recalled.

2014-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee models and 2014-2019 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 3.0l diesel engines were also recalled this week because the "crankshaft position sensor tone wheel may delaminate, causing the engine to lose its ability to synchronize the fuel injector pulses and cam shaft timing, possibly resulting in an engine stall."

Stellantis appears to have a revolving door when it comes to recalls.

For instance, 62,909 plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe models were recalled in December over a software issue that could result in power failure.

Stellantis recalled 280,000 Ram heavy-duty diesel trucks for fire risks in November after receiving 16 reports of fires fed by transmission leaks and learning of at least one injury, reported Reuters.

TheBlaze previously reported that Stellantis shut down its Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois, which produced the Jeep Cherokee, on Feb. 28, putting 1,350 Americans out of work.

The company blamed the decision on the pandemic and the global microchip shortage, but stressed that the "increasing cost related to the electrification of the automotive market" was a significant factor.

Vehicles are presently being assembled by a workforce of 2,598 souls in a factory in Toluca, Mexico.
