Buying a used 2023 Jeep Wrangler? Check these 14 recalls first

14 NHTSA recalls · 344 owner complaints on file · 3 park-outside

The fire-risk recalls persist — 4xe battery (two recalls, park outside), power steering wiring, manual clutch — but the frame stud fuel-tank recall does not apply this year. New for 2023 are a driver airbag that may not deploy, a hybrid battery fuse overheat recall, and a minor item where the spare tire blocks the center brake light. Of 344 unverified NHTSA complaints, electrical (184) and engine (100) dominate, with 6 fires and 11 crashes reported.

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. Check the VIN for the driver airbag non-deployment recall and confirm the remedy was applied
  3. Confirm the 4xe battery fire and battery fuse recalls are closed if it's a plug-in hybrid
  4. Look at whether the spare tire blocks the center brake light and whether that recall fix is in place
  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.
