Buying a used 2018 Jeep Renegade? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Renegade has 2 recalls in this group, both concerning propulsion interruption: one addresses stalling and the other fuel pump pressure loss. Their completion deserves attention alongside any history of engine shutdowns or fuel delivery repairs. NHTSA lists 442 unverified owner complaints, including 189 engine, 131 electrical system, and 90 fuel/propulsion reports. The complaint record includes 16 crashes, 8 fires, and 13 injuries; those reports do not establish that either recalled defect caused the events.
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.
- Request VIN-specific completion records for both stalling and fuel pump recalls.
- Ask about stalling, engine shutdowns, and fuel pressure or pump repairs.
- Review electrical fault records and any reported fire or crash history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
