Chrysler has announced a safety recall for its Jeep models due to a wiring problem that can compromise critical safety features. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that about 80,000 vehicles are affected.
If you drive a 2024 or 2025 Wrangler, check the following details and how to protect yourself from potential crash risks if the defect is not addressed.
What the Recall Involves
The recall was announced after the company detected a manufacturing flaw in the assembly process. During production, the remote start antennae able under the seat bely retractor bracket could have been pinched. This flaw disrupts the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) preventing the dashboard warning light from illuminating when tire pressure is too low.
Failure to show when tire pressure is low can lead to reduced ability to handle the vehicles, and increasing the stopping distance when breaking. These mishaps can increase the likelihood of accidents.
The NHTSA classified this defect as a safety hazard because a driver might be unaware of low tire pressure especially when driving. Documents filed with the agency have confirm that the problem resulted from assembly errors and not defective parts. The affected vehicles were produced between April 2023 and December 2024.
Affected Models and Numbers
These are the affected Jeep Wrangler models:
- 2024 Jeep Wrangler: Vehicles built from April 2023 onward.
- 2025 Jeep Wrangler: Vehicles built up to December 2024.
Chrysler estimates that the affected units are 78,990 in the U.S. although the company has assigned the recall an internal number for tracking, the NHTSA campaign ID is still unspecified in initial filings.
How Chrysler Plans to Fix the Defect
Chrysler dealers will repair the defect for free. Technicians will inspect the remote start antenna cable for pinching or damage and replace the affected parts. The aim of the repair is to ensure that the TPMS functions properly thus restoring full safety compliance.
Chrysler will notify all affected owners via mail soon. Proactive owners are advised to contact customer service at (800) 853-1403 to verify their vehicle status using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). They can also call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236 or visit the NHTSA website and enter your VIN to check for open recalls.
