Jeep Grand Cherokee Recall Summary Jeep is recalling 1,069 Grand Cherokee vehicles because a coating on the Occupant Restraint Control module may not have been applied correctly during manufacturing, which could cause a short circuit. If this occurs, the airbag system may stop working and the airbag warning light will turn on. Jeep will replace the affected control module to fix the issue.

- Reason
- It is possible that during the manufacturing process the coating on the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) printed circuit may not have been applied correctly. If the coating has been applied incorrectly it can result in lead salts forming which can cause a resistive short across the ORC module printed circuit board(s). Atmospheric humidity may increase the potential for this condition to occur. Should this occur then it will cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate and potentially disable the passive restraint system. Ultimately this can result in an inoperative passive restraint system...
