Buying a used 2019 Jeep Wrangler? Check these 9 recalls first
The 2019 Jeep Wrangler has 9 recalls in this group. Steering wheel detachment and clutch overheating or fracture are prominent concerns, with additional recalls involving track bar welds and front seat belts that may not lock. Camera, brake-light, and instrument-cluster faults round out the record. Its 737 unverified owner complaints include STEERING 445, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 150, SUSPENSION 132, and POWER TRAIN 78. Steering-related service documentation is particularly relevant, without treating those reports as confirmed defects.
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 steering wheel attachment and track bar weld recall records.
- Verify applicable clutch and front seat belt recall completion.
- Ask about steering or suspension repairs and demonstrate camera, brake lights, and cluster.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
