Owners and repairers should park model year 2021-2025 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles outside and away from other vehicles and buildings
Washington, D.C.—FCA US has issued a new recall for more than one million model year 2021-2025 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles due to a risk of fire, even when the vehicles are turned off. Owners and repairers should park their vehicles outside and away from other vehicles and buildings until their vehicle has been repaired.
The recall affects 1,076,999 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles, which may have an electrical connection issue in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring. This could cause combustible materials to overheat and potentially catch fire.
This recall was influenced by an investigation NHTSA opened due to multiple reports of fires. NHTSA is aware of 51 fires and one injury that are likely due to this issue.
FCA will notify owners when a recall remedy is available, and owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on July 9. Affected vehicle identification numbers and license plates will be searchable on NHTSA.gov for this recall starting on Thursday, June 11.
