Buying a used 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls cover this year, four of them serious: a rollaway risk tied to the electrics, trailer lights and brakes that may fail, and a display failure, alongside headlights that cannot be aimed correctly and a liftgate hinge cover that can fall off. Owners have filed 28 unverified reports with NHTSA, including two crashes and no fires, leaning heavily electrical, then power train, vehicle speed control, and engine. Recall and complaint themes overlap on the electrical side.
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.
- Confirm by VIN that the rollaway and display failure recalls are closed
- Watch the center display through a full cold start for blanking
- If towing, test trailer lights and trailer brake function before buying
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
