Jeep Wrangler roof tent cover may break off

NHTSA campaign 19V320000 · Reported 2019-04-23 · EHG USA LP dba American Fastbacks

high How serious is it? About this label

Losing the cover at road speed could cause a crash; the notice does not tell you to stop driving, but no fix exists yet, so ask the company what to do in the meantime.

What's wrong, in plain English

Some 2018 Jeep Wranglers were sold with a roof top tent mounted on top. The hard top cover of that tent can crack or break apart, and a broken cover may come off the vehicle while you are driving. A cover that flies off turns into an obstacle in the road for you and for the drivers behind you, which could lead to a crash. A repair has not been finalized yet, so owners will be told once one is ready.

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm campaign 19V320000 applies to your Wrangler.
2. Call American Fastbacks customer service at 1-844-533-7997, extension 301, to register and ask about the pending repair and related recall 19V-190.
3. When the remedy becomes available, have it performed — it will be free of charge.
