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.
