36 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Jeep Wrangler, Wrangler 4xe, and Gladiator vehicles have an electric hydraulic power steering pump with wiring that can overheat. This overheating can cause a vehicle fire, and this can happen even when the vehicle is parked with the ignition off.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
These Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles have a high voltage battery that may fail internally. This failure can lead to a vehicle fire, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
On these Jeep Wrangler vehicles, the wiring for the rearview camera and the center brake light can short circuit. If that happens, the rearview camera image may stop showing, and the center brake light may stop working, so it no longer lights up when the driver brakes.
The instrument panel cluster on affected vehicles may develop an internal short circuit and stop working.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2021 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles that were already repaired once under an earlier recall. The software that controls the powertrain may cause the engine to stall, which can take away the vehicle's ability to keep driving under its own power. This recall provides an updated software fix for vehicles that still need it, including ones that received the previous repair.
Certain Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler vehicles may have a steering column control module that wasn't welded correctly. Because of this welding problem, the driver's air bag may not deploy during a crash the way it is supposed to. This affects a range of trucks and SUVs, including the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Gladiator, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Pacifica, and Voyager, meaning the driver may not get the protection the air bag is meant to provide.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models. A software error in the hybrid control processor can leave the system that clears frost and fog from the windshield unable to operate. Because the defrosting and defogging system may not work, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering windshield defrosting and defogging. Dealers will load corrected software into the hybrid control processor to fix the problem.
Certain Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have a high voltage battery that may fail internally. This kind of internal failure can lead to a vehicle fire, and this can happen whether the vehicle is parked or being driven at the time.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles built with a manual transmission. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the rearview camera may not show the picture behind the vehicle and the reverse lights may not come on. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standards covering rear visibility and vehicle lamps.
On some Wrangler vehicles, the spare tire mounted on the back of the vehicle may block the view of the center high-mount brake light. Because that light is partly or fully hidden behind the spare tire, drivers behind the vehicle may not be able to see it clearly when the brakes are applied, since the spare tire sits directly in the line of sight to that light.
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Jeep Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid Electric vehicles. On these vehicles, the high voltage battery pack assembly was built using incorrect fasteners to secure the 200-amp fuse inside the battery pack. Because the wrong fasteners were used, the fuse can generate excessive heat.
On these Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the high pressure fuel pump may fail. If the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler vehicles because a stud on the frame assembly may puncture the fuel tank if the vehicle is in a crash. If the stud punctures the tank in a collision, fuel can leak out of the tank afterward. This fuel leak would happen as a result of the frame stud coming into contact with the tank during a crash, rather than under normal driving conditions.
Certain manual-transmission Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles have a clutch problem. The clutch pressure plate may overheat and fracture. This can damage other nearby parts, which may cause pieces to fall onto the road or cause the vehicle to lose the ability to drive.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicles equipped with the 2.0L engine. A loss of communication between vehicle components may cause the engine to shut down. When the engine shuts down, the vehicle can lose the power it needs to keep moving.
The high voltage battery pack on these plug-in hybrid Wranglers was assembled with incorrect fasteners securing its 200-amp fuse. This can allow the fuse to generate excessive heat, and if the fuse then fails, the vehicle can lose drive power.
The front seat belt retractors on these vehicles may contain a micro gas generator that was not properly welded. If that weld gives way, the seat belt pretensioner can fail to work.
On these Jeep and Ram vehicles with 3.0-liter diesel engines, the high pressure fuel pump may fail. If this happens, the engine can stall.
A software error in the radio may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying when a driver shifts into reverse. Without that image showing, the driver has less visibility of what is behind the vehicle. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard for rear visibility.
Some Wrangler vehicles have a tail light assembly wiring harness that isn't compatible, which can prevent the side marker lights from working. FCA will replace the tail light assemblies to fix the wiring, and the repair is free of charge for owners.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler vehicles with the 2.0 Liter engine because a fuel supply line connector may crack. If this happens, fuel can leak into the engine compartment.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. In these vehicles, the clutch pressure plate may overheat and fracture, meaning it can crack or break apart.
In the event of a crash, the front seat belt retractors on these vehicles may not properly slow an occupant's forward movement after the belt locks. This means the seat belt may not restrain the occupant as effectively as intended during a crash.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles with 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio screens. A software error can leave the backup camera picture on the screen after the driver has shifted out of reverse. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule covering rear visibility. Dealers will update the radio display software. Owners can also choose to have the software updated remotely, over the air, instead of visiting a dealer.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles with manual transmissions because the clutch pressure plate may overheat and fracture. When that happens, the damage can also affect other components located near the clutch.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2020 Jeep Wrangler vehicles because the left side lower control arm bracket and its weld may not be positioned correctly.
FCA is recalling certain 2011-2018 right-hand-drive Jeep Wrangler vehicles because the strap mounting the driver's seat belt buckle to the seat frame may fracture and separate. If this happens, the seat belt would no longer work properly. Dealers will replace the driver's seat belt buckle to fix the issue.
Some Jeep Wrangler vehicles were sold with a roof top tent installed. The top cover of that tent may crack or break over time. If this happens, the cover could come loose and detach from the vehicle while it is being driven. A cover detaching while driving can create a hazard on the road for other vehicles.
Some Jeep Wrangler and Ram 1500 vehicles have a part in the steering column, called the stub shaft, that was not machined correctly during the manufacturing process. Because of this, the part may break. If it breaks, the steering wheel could come loose and separate completely from the steering column, leaving the driver without the ability to steer the vehicle at all.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-door vehicles because the right rear passenger door latch may not be in the correct location. This can prevent the door from latching properly, so it may not stay securely closed.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler vehicles because the front track bar brackets may have been improperly welded. A poorly welded bracket can separate from the vehicle's frame while the vehicle is being driven. If this happens, the driver may experience an unexpected reduction in the vehicle's steering ability, making the vehicle harder to steer and control on the road.
A voltage regulator chip on the circuit board inside the powertrain control module may fail. If this chip fails, the vehicle may stall while it is being driven, or it may fail to start at all. To correct this problem, Chrysler dealers will replace the entire powertrain control module with a new one so the vehicle does not experience this stalling or no-start condition again.
The intermediate steering shaft in these Wranglers may not have been welded properly, causing a split where the external spline is formed. If the weld seam splits, the steering wheel may lose its centered position.
Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler vehicles from several model years because the cruise control may not shut off. If a wire inside the vehicle shorts out while cruise control is in use, the driver may not be able to cancel it by pressing the brake pedal or by switching the system off. The vehicle could keep going at its set speed or even speed up. Dealers will inspect and reprogram the engine or powertrain computer.
On certain 2018 Dodge Charger, Durango and Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Ram 1500 vehicles, the wrong part may have been installed in the transmission that locks it into park. Because of this, the transmission may fail to shift into 'park' and hold the vehicle in place, meaning the vehicle could move on its own when the driver thinks it is safely parked.
On some Jeep Wrangler vehicles, the rear underbody ladder rail, part of the frame, may corrode. This corrosion can reduce the strength of the rear floor pan and can cause the left rear seat mount to become loose.
