Buying a used 2022 Jeep Gladiator? Check these 8 recalls first
Two critical recalls apply: manual-clutch overheating and fire, and the power-steering wiring fire risk that carries a park-outside instruction. The high-severity items are unusually broad — a failure to stay in park that could let the truck roll, front seat belts that may fail, and two diesel fuel pump recalls. Complaint volume is moderate at 117 unverified NHTSA reports, but 13 of those cite fires, with five crashes and eight injuries. Steering (35) and electrical system (32) lead the areas.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify the park/rollaway recall repair and test that it holds on an incline.
- Check VIN status on the power-steering wiring recall before garaging the truck.
- Inspect the front seat belts and ask about any burning smells or fire-related repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
