Buying a used 2021 Jeep Wrangler? Check these 15 recalls first

15 NHTSA recalls · 913 owner complaints on file · 3 park-outside

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler has 15 recalls in this group. Battery and steering-pump fire recalls carry park-outside instructions for affected vehicles. Clutch fracture, possible fuel-tank puncture, engine shutdown, fuel-pump failures, and seat belt pretensioner failure also stand out. Camera, brake-light, defroster, and cluster issues complete the listed concerns. Its 913 unverified owner complaints include ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 302, STEERING 249, ENGINE 215, and SUSPENSION 179, making repair documentation across those systems relevant.

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 battery and steering-pump fire recall status and park-outside instructions.
3. Request applicable clutch, fuel-tank, fuel-pump, and engine-shutdown recall records.
4. Review electrical, steering, and suspension repairs; demonstrate defroster, camera, and cluster.
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.
