STELLANTIS SPECIAL INVESTIGATION # 98439287/FOLOW UP FOR the federal safety agency COMPLAINT # 11769254/STELLANTIS CATASTROPHIC STRUCTURAL FAILURE / RECALL REMEDY FAILURE: - The front wheel and upper control arm completely separated from the steering knuckle while driving on the road. On October 5, 2026, while driving on a public road, my 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited suffered a catastrophic structural component failure where the wheel and upper control arm completely separated from the steering knuckle, causing an immediate and hazardous loss of steering control. This exact failure matches the critical safety components covered under an active manufacturer safety recall 10B/the federal safety agency 24V‑132. The recall was repaired at the dealership on 08 July 2024. Despite the component failure matching an open safety recall, Stellantis is stonewalling the recall remedy. Stellantis corporate customer service is improperly misclassifying this life-threatening structural failure as a standard parts warranty issue rather than a safety recall failure. Consequently, they have denied the provision of a loaner or rental vehicle, leaving me without safe transportation. Furthermore, the manufacturer is failing to act with any regulatory urgency. The vehicle has been held at two separate authorized Stellantis dealerships since the date of the incident (October 5, 2026). While Stellantis has opened a Special Investigation Case (Case Number: [98439287]) the inspection is not scheduled to proceed until November 3, 2026—nearly a full month after the on-road failure occurred. I am requesting that the federal safety agency's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) immediately investigate Stellantis for a failure to properly administer and execute a federally mandated safety recall remedy, deliberately delaying a critical safety inspection, and misclassifying a catastrophic on-road structural failure to avoid corporate liability and consumer safety accommodations.
