Keep your rear gate closing and holding securely with the Standard tailgate latch, part number DLA2174. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2019-2023 Jeep Cherokee, 2022-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021-2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
This tailgate latch assembly catches the striker to hold the gate shut and lets it go when the gate is opened. If the liftgate latch on your 2019-2023 Jeep Cherokee no longer catches, won't release, or needs a hard slam to close, a worn or failed latch may be the cause. Diagnose the problem first, and if the latch is at fault, this part replaces it.
