Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash reported1 injury reported

On 7/17/2026 I was involved in a motor vehicle crash resulting in damage to both my Jeep Wagoneer and the other vehicle. I was informed that I have a recall on my Electronic brake assist and the brake system control module for my Wagoneer today August 6th, 2026. I'm wondering if the faulty brake system control module contributed to the crash. I am unable to complete the recall repairs until after my wagnoeer is repaired after the resulting motor vehicle crash. I had no prior warning, messages, or problems prior to the failure. Also to note--I hit my head on my side driver door and sustained significant impact to the front fender wheel (driver side) and my air bags did not deploy. The resulting damages to my car are estimated at $19,000

PUMP, Auxiliary Coolant Before replacing the Auxiliary Coolant Pump, please perform the following steps: 1) Key ON/OFF and let the after-run pump run for at least 20 minutes before moving on to step #2. 2) Inspect the pump connector area for presence of water. 3) Inspect the pump connector for corrosion. 4) Inspect the pump for coolant contamination as this can cause the pump to stall. 5) Inspect battery terminals for damage to rule out a battery drainage issue. 6) Ensure the PCM is up-to-date with the latest available flash. If correct repair is not performed then the claim or condition will be recovered by Warranty Operations.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
