Buying a used 2021 Jeep Renegade? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls: a front airbag that may not deploy in a crash, and a wrong reverse light assembly on some vehicles. The 66 unverified NHTSA complaints skew toward electrical system (26) and a large unknown-or-other group (20), with engine and forward collision avoidance at nine each; three crashes, one fire and two injuries are reported. Electronics and driver-assist behavior, more than mechanical faults, describe most of what owners filed.
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.
- Check VIN recall status on the front airbag non-deployment recall
- Confirm the reverse lights work and the correct assembly is installed
- Test infotainment, warning lights and forward collision alerts for erratic or false behavior
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
