Headlight Havoc in 2021: Recalls Over Critical Software Glitch
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L faced a recall campaign back in 2021 affecting nearly 37,000 vehicles due to an issue with the smart lighting modules (SLM).
An incomplete software update for the SLM can cause one or both headlights to become inoperable, which is not only problematic but also illegal under federal law.
This marks the second headlight-related recall for the model, with a previous smaller recall for high-beam activation issues.
