If you own a 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator, park it outside and away from your home or garage and check your VIN — FCA US is offering a free dealer repair after reports of fires tied to the electric power-steering pump wiring, including fires in parked vehicles.
What Is Being Recalled?
FCA US, LLC (the Stellantis unit that builds Jeep vehicles) is recalling 1,076,999 model-year 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator vehicles, including the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) assigned the recall campaign number 26V363000, with a recall date of June 9, 2026.The recall covers about 787,887 Jeep Wrangler vehicles built June 24, 2020 through December 2, 2024 and about 289,112 Jeep Gladiator vehicles built August 18, 2020 through December 2, 2024. FCA US has said an internal investigation determined these vehicles may have an electrical connection issue in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring that, in rare circumstances, can cause combustible materials to overheat and potentially lead to a vehicle fire — including while the vehicle is parked with the ignition off. As a precaution, FCA US is advising owners to park away from structures and other vehicles until the remedy is obtained. (FCA also reported additional affected vehicles in Canada, Mexico, and markets outside North America.)
Why Are These Jeeps Being Recalled?
The wiring that powers the electric hydraulic power steering pump can overheat. When that happens, it may cause a vehicle fire, and the condition can occur even when the vehicle is parked with the ignition in the "Off" position. NHTSA has said it is aware of 51 fires and one injury that are likely related to this condition.Because a fire can start while the vehicle is parked and unattended, FCA is urging owners to park affected vehicles away from structures and other vehicles until the recall repair has been completed.
Who Is Affected?
You are affected if you own or lease a 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler (including the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid) or a 2021-2025 Jeep Gladiator within the recalled build-date ranges. The fastest way to confirm coverage is to enter your 17-character VIN on the official recall pages, which match your specific vehicle against the recall campaign.If your vehicle is included, follow the park-outside guidance now rather than waiting for the notification letter or the repair appointment, since the fire risk exists while the vehicle is parked.
What Is the Remedy?
FCA US dealers will inspect the wiring and, if necessary, repair or replace the wiring harness and/or the electric hydraulic power steering pump, free of charge. There is no claim form to fill out and no receipt is required — the repair is tracked by your vehicle's VIN, and FCA US performs recall repairs at no cost even if the vehicle is out of warranty or you are not the original owner.FCA US says affected customers will be notified by first-class mail when they can schedule service, and the company anticipates a remedy will be available no later than July 2026. Owners can check the status of the recall and confirm whether a specific vehicle is covered by entering the VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup or on the official Mopar recall page. For the remedy process, follow the instructions on the official recall page or your mailed recall notice rather than any third-party site.
