Jeep Tells Over A Million Wrangler And Gladiator Owners To Park Outside

According to an official announcement from Stellantis, a fire risk has put an estimated 1,076,999 Wranglers and Gladiators in the US on the recall list.

Owners are advised to keep their Jeeps away from anything combustible, including your home and your neighbour’s brand-new SUV, until a solution is found. Wranglers and Gladiators made between 2021 and 2025 are the target of the recall, so you might want to pay heed if your Jeep is brand-new.

A potential electrical gremlin in the electric-hydraulic power steering pump’s wiring was discovered by Jeep’s own examination. Rarely, this might cause the internal components to become hot enough to ignite a fire.

As of right now, there is no formal solution. The whole repair plan is currently being developed; however, dealers will inspect the wiring harness and replace any necessary parts. Additionally, Stellantis made no mention of whether this recall was prompted by any fire events.

When it’s time to schedule a servicing appointment, owners will receive mail. According to Stellantis, a solution ought to be available by July. More than 100,000 Jeeps in Canada, almost 24,000 in Mexico, and more than 124,000 in other countries are also impacted, so it’s not simply an American issue.

Gladiators and Wranglers have already been called back to the shop. Do you recall the time that manual models were recalled because their clutches could catch fire due to extreme heat? Indeed, that did occur.

Recall controversy has also affected the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. Owners had to adhere to a long list of parking and charging regulations while Jeep resolved the issue after hundreds of thousands of people were summoned back due to battery concerns.
