If you own a Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, or Grand Cherokee, this is urgent news you cannot afford to ignore. Stellantis has just issued one of the largest and most serious Jeep recalls in recent memory — and fire risk is at the center of it. Here is everything you need to know, broken down by model.
The Main Recall: Wrangler and Gladiator
FCA US has issued a new recall for more than 1 million model year 2021-2025 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles due to a risk of fire, even when the vehicles are turned off. NHTSA
The recall spans 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and Jeep Gladiator trucks. The global safety campaign encompasses 1.08 million vehicles in the U.S., 106,000 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico, and some 125,000 across other international markets. Auto123
This is not a minor or theoretical risk. NHTSA is aware of 51 fires and one injury that are likely due to this issue, and the recall was influenced by an investigation NHTSA opened following multiple reports of fires. NHTSA
What Is Actually Causing the Problem?
Certain model year 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator vehicles may have an electrical connection issue in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring. In rare circumstances, this may cause combustible materials to overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire. Mopar
Owners may get a “service power steering” warning notification or experience a loss of power steering assist — so if you’ve seen that warning light recently, treat it seriously. Edmunds
Importantly, this recall affects model year 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator vehicles equipped with gas, diesel, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrains — not just one engine type. Mopar
What Should You Do Right Now?
Stellantis is asking owners of the affected Wranglers and Gladiators to park their vehicles outside and away from buildings and other vehicles while it works on a fix. Do not park in your garage. Do not park next to other cars. Treat this warning seriously until your vehicle has been repaired. MSN

Grand Cherokee and Wrangler 4xe Plug-In Hybrid Owners: You’re Also Affected
The recall doesn’t stop with gas-powered models. Chrysler has issued a separate recall for 320,065 model year 2020-2025 Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and model year 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid electric vehicles due to a risk of fire while parked or driven. Owners should not charge unrepaired vehicle batteries, because the risk of fire is higher in a charged battery than when the battery is depleted. NHTSA
This is critical for 4xe owners specifically — do not plug in your vehicle until it has been inspected and repaired by a dealer.
Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneer S: Towing Issue
There is a third, separate recall that affects a different set of owners. A recall issued February 2, 2026 affects over 450,000 2025 and 2026 model year vehicles — including Jeep Wagoneer S and Cherokee models — due to a faulty trailer tow module. The faulty module could cause trailer lights to fail to illuminate and trailer brakes to fail, both of which significantly increase the risk of a crash. If you regularly tow with your Jeep, get this checked immediately. Pickup Truck +SUV Talkaol
