2025 Jeep Wrangler recalls

Pump

Park outside

The electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring may overheat and cause a vehicle fire, even when the vehicle is parked with the ignition in the "Off" position. A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury.

Fix: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures, until their vehicle is repaired. Dealers will inspect and replace the wiring and electric hydraulic power steering pump, as necessary, free of charge.

Camera

Contamination in the central vision processing module or improper programming may cause the rearview camera image not to display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility." A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will update the central vision processing module software or replace the module, as necessary, free of charge.

Recall 26V327000 · May 2026

Traction battery

Park outside

The high voltage battery may fail internally and lead to a vehicle fire while parked or driving. A vehicle fire can increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures and not to charge their vehicles until the remedy is completed. Dealers will update the high voltage battery software, and replace the high voltage battery, as necessary, free of charge.

Recall 25V741000 · Oct 2025

Pinched antenna cable may hide low-tire warning

Crash risk

A pinched remote start antenna cable can stop the tire pressure warning light from coming on when a tire is low. Without that warning, the driver may not notice underinflated tires, which raises the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will inspect the remote start antenna cable and replace it if needed, at no cost to you.
