Buying a used 2019 Jeep Renegade? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 79 owner complaints on file

Three of the four recalls involve occupant protection: software that can switch off crash safety features, an airbag computer set up incorrectly, and a front airbag that may not deploy in a crash. A backup camera image recall is minor by comparison. NHTSA shows 79 unverified owner complaints — 26 electrical, 17 unknown, 15 engine and nine specifically about air bags — with nine crashes, one fire and five injuries. The airbag theme runs through both recalls and complaints.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify all three airbag and crash-safety recalls are closed by VIN, not just one of them
3. Watch the airbag warning light at startup and note if it stays lit
4. Ask whether the backup camera image lingers on screen after shifting out of reverse
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
