More than one million Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles are being recalled in the United States after a problem with the power steering system was found to potentially cause fires, including when the vehicles are switched off. Federal safety regulators are urging owners to keep affected vehicles outside and away from buildings until the necessary repair has been completed.

What is the problem?

The recall covers 787,887 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and 289,112 2021-2025 Jeep Gladiator pickup trucks, and involves the wiring connected to the vehicles’ electric-hydraulic power steering pumps. An electrical connection can develop excessive resistance, generating heat that may cause surrounding materials to ignite, and unlike many vehicle fire risks, the problem can potentially occur while the Jeep is parked with the ignition turned off.

Some owners may notice a warning message telling them to service the power steering system or experience a loss of power steering assistance before a problem develops. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported 51 fire incidents connected to the investigation, along with reports of one death and one injury.

What owners should do

Owners of affected 2021-2025 Wrangler and Gladiator models should follow the NHTSA’s guidance and park their vehicles outdoors, away from buildings and other vehicles, until repairs have been carried out.

Recall notifications began being mailed in July, and owners can also search their vehicle identification number (VIN) through the NHTSA recall database or contact FCA customer service for further information.

How Jeep owners can take back control

Being advised to keep your Jeep away from your home because of a potential fire hazard is a serious concern, particularly for owners who have already experienced electrical or power steering problems. A recall may provide a repair, but it does not necessarily address the wider disruption or losses an owner may have experienced.

If your Jeep has suffered from recurring defects, repeated dealership visits or significant safety problems, The Lemon Firm can help you assess whether you may have grounds for a claim. Our team can look at the history of your vehicle, the repairs you’ve received and the problems you’ve encountered, giving you a clearer picture of what legal options may be available.

Federal safety regulators have issued an urgent warning to owners of more than one million Jeep vehicles after discovering an electrical defect that could cause a fire, even when the vehicle is turned off and parked. Until repairs are completed, affected owners are being advised to park their vehicles outside and away from homes, garages, and other vehicles.

What is the problem?

The recall affects 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and Jeep Gladiator pickup trucks. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an electrical connection within the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring may develop high resistance, causing the wiring to overheat and potentially ignite nearby materials.

What makes this issue particularly concerning is that a fire could occur whether the vehicle is being driven or sitting parked with the ignition switched off. Stellantis has reportedly identified dozens of incidents potentially linked to the defect, including one reported injury, prompting regulators to issue the unusual “park outside” warning while a remedy is being finalized.

Drivers may also notice warning signs before a failure occurs, including a “Service Power Steering” message or a loss of power steering assistance.

What owners should do

Notification letters are expected to begin mailing in July 2026, and in the meantime, owners of affected Wranglers and Gladiators should avoid parking their vehicles inside garages or near structures until repairs have been completed. They should also monitor recall notices and check whether their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is included in the campaign through the NHTSA recall database. 

Stellantis has indicated that dealers will inspect the affected components and repair or replace parts as necessary at no cost to owners once the final remedy becomes available.

How Jeep owners can take back control

Being told to keep your vehicle outside because of a potential fire risk can understandably cause frustration and concern, particularly when the defect could occur even while the vehicle is parked. For some owners, repeated recalls and safety concerns can make it difficult to feel confident in their vehicle’s reliability.

If your Jeep has been affected by recurring defects, repeated repairs, or unresolved safety issues, The Lemon Firm may be able to help you understand your rights. Our team has extensive experience assisting consumers facing persistent vehicle problems and can review whether you may have options for pursuing compensation or other legal remedies.

History Behind The Recall

Stellantis has announced a global recall of 375,000 Jeep SUVs after confirming 19 battery‑related fires and one injury. The automaker is warning owners to park outdoors and avoid charging their vehicles until a permanent solution is ready.

The recall impacts plug‑in hybrid versions of the 2020–2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. About 320,000 vehicles are in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The batteries, supplied by Samsung SDI, have been linked to internal cell defects, including separator damage that can lead to short circuits and fires. Stellantis previously recalled thousands of Jeep plug‑in hybrids in 2023 and 2024 for similar problems—vehicles that were already repaired under those campaigns will now need to be fixed again.

Which Models Are Affected

• 2020–2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
• 2022–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

Both models use the same Samsung‑built battery pack design and have shown evidence of overheating and spontaneous ignition, even after software updates.

What Should Owners Do Next?

Stellantis says a repair remedy is coming soon, but until it is available, owners should:

• Park their vehicles outdoors, away from homes and other structures.
• Do not plug in or charge the vehicle.
• Visit NHTSA.gov or Jeep.com/recalls to check if their VIN is affected.
• Wait for official recall letters or emails, expected to begin in the coming weeks.

If you notice smoke, odors, or warning lights from your Jeep 4xe, contact your local dealer immediately.

How Stellantis Owners Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under campaign number 25V593, the recall was initiated after reports that driver and passenger door trim on certain SUVs was not installed correctly during assembly. Detached trim could fall off at highway speeds, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash for other motorists.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall impacts:

• 2022–2025 Jeep Wagoneer
• 2022–2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

These luxury SUVs represent Jeep’s top-end lineup and were built with improperly secured exterior trim that may separate from the vehicle over time, particularly under wind pressure or vibration.

Dealers will inspect and replace the affected door trim, if necessary, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by October 31, 2025, and affected VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 18, 2025.

History Behind The Recall

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) has issued a recall affecting more than 78,000 units of its popular off-roader, the 2024–2025 Jeep Wrangler, due to a potential defect in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under Recall ID 25V527000, the remote start antenna cable may become pinched during assembly, preventing the TPMS warning light from illuminating if tire pressure drops to unsafe levels.

This defect represents a serious safety concern, as it increases the risk of driving on improperly inflated tires, which can lead to loss of control, poor braking, or a crash. Additionally, the issue violates federal motor vehicle safety standards for TPMS.

Affected Models

• 2024–2025 Jeep Wrangler

Estimated units affected: 78,000+

Wranglers with a pinched cable may fail to notify drivers when tire pressure is dangerously low.

What Owners Should Do Next

Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification letters starting September 2, 2025. Jeep dealers will inspect and replace the remote start antenna cable if necessary, free of charge.

Concerned owners can contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403, or check their VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to verify whether their vehicle is affected.

Overview of the Jeep Fire Lawsuit

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA US LLC) is facing a nationwide class action lawsuit over claims that 2021–2023 Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator models are equipped with a dangerous fire risk defect. Plaintiff Nikki Bell filed the suit on March 3, 2025, in Michigan federal court, alleging serious design flaws in the vehicles’ electrical systems.

According to the lawsuit, the issue stems from a faulty power steering pump electrical connector. This component can overheat and spark a thermal event—even when the vehicle is parked and turned off. The lawsuit accuses FCA of failing to disclose this defect, despite being aware of numerous complaints and reports of engine compartment fires.

Allegations: Known Danger, Concealed Risk

The complaint highlights that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an official investigation in September 2024 after receiving multiple fire-related reports involving these Jeep models. Disturbingly, the class action also claims at least one fatal fire-related incident has occurred.

Bell argues that FCA had prior knowledge of the defect but withheld that information from consumers, violating federal and state consumer protection laws. As a result, customers like Bell say they would have either avoided buying the vehicle or negotiated a lower price had they known about the risks.

The lawsuit seeks to represent all U.S. owners and lessees of 2021–2023 Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator models. It brings claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, and other laws. The lawsuit is demanding damages, class certification, attorney’s fees, and a jury trial.

Additionally, a separate class action targeting Jeep fires has been filed, expanding coverage to include 2020–2024 Jeep Wrangler, 2021–2023 Gladiator, and 2022–2024 Grand Cherokee models.

How Jeep Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Jeep owners are likely affected by the same alleged fire risk, with many expressing dissatisfaction over FCA’s inadequate solutions. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, has issued a major recall affecting over 63,000 Jeep Cherokee vehicles due to a critical issue with the power transfer unit (PTU) that could lead to a loss of drive power or unintended rollaway. 

The recall, announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on January 24, impacts the 2017-2019 Jeep Cherokee models.

History Behind the Recall

The recall was initiated after NHTSA identified a defect in the power transfer unit that could cause the transmission and differential to disengage. This may result in:

• Loss of drive power which can make crashes more likely.
• Loss of park function, meaning the vehicle may roll away unexpectedly, increasing the risk of crashes or injuries.

Both scenarios pose significant safety risks for affected drivers and others on the road. Stellantis has not disclosed any reports of accidents or injuries caused by the defect, but the issue is serious enough to warrant immediate attention.

Which Models Are Affected?

The 63,000 recalled vehicles include the 2017-2019 Jeep Cherokee. Owners should check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to confirm whether their vehicle is part of the recall.

What Owners Need to Do Next

At this time, Stellantis has not yet developed a remedy for the issue. However, affected vehicle owners will receive notification letters by February 13, 2025, with further instructions.

Owners are encouraged to:

• Call Jeep customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall code 01C for more details.
• Visit the NHTSA recall database at www.nhtsa.gov to check their recall status.
• Monitor updates from Jeep and Stellantis regarding when a fix will be available.

Until a repair solution is provided, Jeep Cherokee owners should take extra precautions, engage the emergency brake when parked, and avoid driving if they notice any power loss while in motion.

Jeep has issued a recall for approximately 79,000 vehicles due to a software defect that causes rearview cameras to fail to display properly. The recall affects several models from the 2024 lineup, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer, and Grand Wagoneer.

History Behind the Jeep Recall

The issue stems from an incorrectly programmed rearview camera module (RVCM). According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the defect prevents the rearview image from displaying on the screen while reversing, posing a safety hazard, especially in larger vehicles like SUVs.

Rearview cameras are federally mandated safety features under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 571.111. The regulation requires backup cameras to provide a clear view of the area behind the vehicle. Failure to comply with this standard has prompted the recall.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall involves the following 2024 Jeep models:

• Jeep Grand Cherokee: 34,485 units
• Jeep Grand Cherokee L: 24,330 units
• Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer: 20,550 units

What Owners Need to Do Next

Jeep plans to resolve the issue by offering a free software update for the rearview camera module. Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified via mail starting January 21, 2025.

If you own one of the impacted vehicles, you can contact your local dealership to schedule a service appointment. Additionally, vehicle owners can reach out to Jeep’s customer service at 1-800-853-1403, referencing Chrysler recall number D5B or NHTSA recall number 24V-944.
