I'm sure notices will go out to registered owners if they haven't already but for those out there who may own one of these or know someone who does, here's an article from Car & Driver magazine. This is potentially a safet issue as the rear coil springs may not have been installed properly.

Here's the link and a quick cut and paste from article;

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44197482/2022-2023-jeep-grand-cherokee-suspension-recall/

Owners of 2021 through 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokees may soon receive a recall notice over a problem with the SUVs' coil springs. According to the automaker, Stellantis, a total of 331,401 Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L models may have incorrectly installed rear coil springs. Included in the recall are 217,099 Grand Cherokee L and 114,302 Grand Cherokee SUVs. Grand Cherokees with the optional air suspension are not involved.

The report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) details a "potentially out-of-position rear coil spring" as an issue that occurred during manufacturing in May 2023, making it possible the spring could detach while the vehicle is in motion. The separation could cause loss of control and increase the risk of an accident.

I'm guessing they heard one almost took a Valkyrie, and are doing a recall to de-tune them a bit to put 'em in their place...   :D
