## What the record says

- **Reason**: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles equipped with smart lighting modules (SLM).

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Inoperable headlights can reduce visibility for the driver and oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
