Stellantis Recalls Over 1 Million Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Models for Fire Risk Due to Electrical Defect

Stellantis is recalling more than 1 million Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles due to an electrical defect that could lead to vehicle fires, prompting the automaker to advise owners to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until repairs are completed.

The recall affects approximately 1,076,999 model-year 2021–2025 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles. An electrical issue involving the wiring for the electric hydraulic power steering pump may cause nearby materials to overheat and potentially ignite, according to Stellantis spokesperson Frank Matyok.

“In rare circumstances, this may cause combustible materials to overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire,” Matyok said in a statement.

The company’s U.S. operating unit, FCA US, is recommending that affected owners park vehicles away from buildings and other vehicles out of an abundance of caution.

The automaker has not yet finalized the repair solution but expects a remedy to be available by July. Once the fix is ready, affected owners will receive notification by first-class mail and instructions for scheduling service at their local dealership.

“Affected customers will be notified by first class mail when they can schedule service. FCA US is working diligently to accelerate remedy availability and anticipates a solution no later than July,” Matyok said.

Repairs may involve inspection and replacement of the wiring harness and electric hydraulic power steering pump, depending on the specific vehicle.

The recall also includes approximately 106,258 vehicles in Canada, 23,704 in Mexico, and 124,297 in markets outside North America.

This latest recall adds to previous safety concerns affecting Jeep models. In late May, Stellantis recalled 419,035 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L SUVs over a software defect that could delay side airbag deployment during a crash, increasing injury risk.
