Stellantis recalls 1,076,999 Jeep vehicles in Stellantis Jeep Fire Recall
Stellantis is expanding the stellantis jeep fire recall to 1,076,999 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles from model years 2021 through 2025 after identifying an electrical issue that could spark a fire. Frank Matyok, the company’s spokesperson, said, “In rare circumstances, this may cause combustible materials to overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire,” and told owners to keep the recalled vehicles outdoors.
The immediate instruction is blunt: park the vehicles away from buildings and other vehicles until a repair is available. Stellantis has not finalized the fix, but it expects a remedy by July and will notify affected customers by first class mail when they can schedule service.
Frank Matyok on the recall
Matyok said the company is telling owners to move the vehicles “out of an abundance of caution.” The warning applies to the wiring for the electric hydraulic power steering pump, which Stellantis says can overheat nearby materials and potentially ignite them.
The recall is not limited to the United States. Stellantis said it also covers an estimated 106,258 vehicles in Canada, 23,704 in Mexico and 124,297 vehicles in markets outside North America.
What affected owners should do
Owners of recalled Wrangler and Gladiator models should park outdoors and keep the vehicles away from structures and other vehicles until they can get the repair. Stellantis said repairs may include inspection and replacement of the wiring harness and electric hydraulic power steering pump.
Matyok said, “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,” giving owners a timetable for the next step after the remedy is ready.
Jeep recalls beyond the U.S.
The recall affects a large share of Jeep owners because the model-year range runs from 2021 through 2025. The same issue extends beyond U.S. borders, so the repair process will involve owners across Canada, Mexico and other markets.
For drivers, the practical change is immediate: the vehicles can still sit parked, but Stellantis wants them kept outside until the company has a remedy and starts sending service notices by mail.
