Rosstandart has initiated a recall affecting 1,217 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs that have been on the market since 2018. The move focuses on a safety concern identified within the hydraulic control unit of the anti-lock brake system, known as the HCU/ABS module. In some vehicles, the module may misread the pressure in the primary hydraulic circuit. This faulty sensing can trigger the brake lights without any driver action and, in more alarming cases, could allow the vehicle to start or permit the gear selector to move out of park without the brake pedal being pressed.
Owners are urged to reach out to authorized dealer centers for a no-cost diagnosis and repair. If the inspection confirms the issue, the ABS control unit will be reprogrammed with the latest software update to restore proper function and prevent unintended brake activation or unauthorized starting of the engine.
To verify if a particular vehicle qualifies for the recall, owners should compare their vehicle identification number (VIN) with the list provided on the Documents tab of the recall notice. The recall work is performed free of charge for all eligible vehicles. This aligns with the general safety practice of ensuring critical braking systems operate reliably under all driving conditions.
This notice is issued by Rosstandart as part of ongoing post-market safety monitoring. The recall emphasizes the importance of regular vehicle checks and software updates that can prevent potential brake-related malfunctions on modern vehicles.
In related news, the automotive community is encouraged to participate in the broader conversation about innovative car features and safety improvements. The public can learn more about how recalls are managed, how VIN checks work, and what owners should expect during the repair process through official consumer safety communications.
