Jeep Recalls 1.08 Million Wrangler, Gladiator Vehicles Over Fire Risk

3 articles · Updated · Motor1 · Jun 9

Summary

  • 1,076,999 U.S. Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles from model years 2021-2025 are being recalled, with owners told to park outside until repairs are completed.
  • A manufacturing error in the electric-hydraulic power steering pump connector can create high resistance, overheating and potentially a fire; affected vehicles may also lose power steering or show a service warning.
  • Stellantis said it is aware of one potentially related injury and will begin mailing owner notices in July, then inspect vehicles and repair or replace parts as needed.
  • The automaker began investigating in May 2023, reopened the probe in August 2024 after incidents increased, and confirmed in April 2026 that a loose electrical connection was the root cause.
