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.

201,975 units potentially affected
The defect: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer, 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L, 2025-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L, and 2026 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. Due to a software error, the tire pressure monitoring system may fail to detect low tire pressure and/or fail to illuminate the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System."
The risk: A TPMS warning light that fails to notify the driver of low tire pressure increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will update the radio frequency hub software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning September 17, 2026.

I am currently operating this vehicle as a rental car and have encountered a severe visibility and safety hazard caused by the design of the Front Passenger Interactive Display on the dashboard. The specific angle, slant, and glossy finish of this screen act like a mirror, redirecting intense, blinding sunlight directly into the occupants' eyes depending on the sun's position, creating an immediate crash hazard. Incident 1 (Driver Blindness): Earlier yesterday, while driving northbound on [XXX] through [XXX] and into [XXX], the sun was positioned in the southeast. The sunlight entered the passenger side, struck the slanted passenger screen, and bounced directly into my eyes as the driver. The blinding glare was so sudden and severe that it completely obstructed my forward visibility, forcing me to slow down suddenly on the interstate to avoid a collision. Incident 2 (Passenger Blindness): Later in the day, at approximately 4:40 PM Central Time, with the sun shifting to the west, the hazard flipped. The sunlight struck the screen at the opposite angle, bouncing intense glare directly into the front passenger's eyes, blinding them. Because this is an inherent hardware design and orientation flaw of the physical screen, the occupants cannot adjust or tilt the display to eliminate the reflection. It creates an ongoing, dangerous distraction and temporary blindness for whoever is sitting in the path of the reflected light.

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

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
