Bad Repair Procedure or Inexperience? Recall for a Recall. I can't make this up.

80,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees are being recalled AGAIN under NHTSA Campaign 26V051 due to improperly completed recall repairs involving rear coil springs. Originally, over 345,000 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L models were recalled (FCA Recall 64A) for rear coil springs that could detach. Now, Stellantis is issuing another recall because some of those repairs may have been performed incorrectly at dealerships. In this video, I break down: • What NHTSA Campaign 26V051 means • How rear coil springs can detach • Why 80,000 vehicles may need re-inspection • How flat rate pay affects recall quality • Why dealerships often assign recalls to lower-paid techs • The real state of the automotive repair industry As someone who worked in dealerships for years, I explain how flat rate systems, labor time cuts, and technician shortages may be contributing to workmanship issues like this. This isn’t just about Jeep. This is about the future of automotive repair. Campaign Numbers: • NHTSA Campaign: 26V051 • Previous Recall: FCA 64A • Models Affected: 2021–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee & Grand Cherokee L (excluding air suspension) If you own one of these vehicles, check your VIN on NHTSA’s website and contact your dealership. -The automotive industry is changing — and not for the better. -Subscribe for insider automotive industry breakdowns. — Lance Mechanics Jeep recall 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee recall Jeep recall 26V051 Grand Cherokee rear coil spring recall FCA recall 64A Stellantis recall Jeep suspension recall Jeep recall bad repairs flat rate mechanic dealership recalls automotive industry problems mechanic shortage NHTSA recall Jeep “Jeep Grand Cherokee recall 2026” “Jeep rear coil spring recall” “26V051 Jeep” “Jeep recall bad repair” “Grand Cherokee L recall” #lancemechanics ##mechanic #technician #diy #jeep #grandcherokee #suspension #recalls #repair
