Jeep Grand Cherokee safety recall issued in South Africa over airbags

Stellantis South Africa has issued a safety recall for Jeep Grand Cherokee models sold nationally between 2023-2025. We detail the reason for the recall and how you can check if your car is affected.

Stellantis South Africa has issued a safety recall for Jeep Grand Cherokee models sold between 2023 and 2025 in our market. The automaker’s local arm says the airbag control unit module may have been produced with permanently active, faulty software in the door airbag pressure sensor. As a result, the Grand Cherokee’s front side airbags might deploy later than necessary during an accident. This may increase chances of injury during certain crashes and reduce protection for front passengers.

Suzuki recalls Grand Vitara vehicles due to low fuel warning light​


The National Consumer Commission has announced a recall of the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which affects 543 vehicles.

Suzuki Auto South Africa said the recall affects vehicles that were available for sale from May last year through its dealerships nationwide.

The carmaker says the low fuel warning light may not turn on as the fuel level decreases, which may result in the driver not being alerted of low fuel levels.

This may lead to the affected vehicle running out of fuel, causing the engine to stall and preventing it from starting.

Consumers who own this model are urged to take their vehicles to their nearest authorised Suzuki dealership for a fuel gauge inspection.

This recall took quite a while to trickle down to Suzuki SA - it was already being rolled-out & implemented over in India in mid-November last year, when I posted a Team-BHP article here in this thread... ;)
