Jeep is recalling two versions of its Grand Cherokee due to an issue with rear coil springs. 

Automobile manufacturing company Stellantis reports that 2022-2023 Grand Cherokees and 2021-2023 Grand Cherokee Ls have rear coil springs that may have been installed incorrectly. 

"This recall is not related to a part defect but rather an assembly issue where the vehicle may have been built with an out of position rear coil spring," the recall acknowledgment says. 

There's concern that the springs may detach while driving and cause a crash.
