TL;DR Summary

FCA US is recalling 1,076,999 model year 2021–2025 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles because an electrical connection issue in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring can overheat and ignite, even when the vehicle is off. NHTSA has logged 51 fires and one injury likely tied to the issue. Owners should park outside away from buildings and other vehicles until repaired; a remedy will be provided with owner notification letters starting July 9. VINs and license plates will be searchable on NHTSA.gov from June 11. For more information, contact FCA at 800-853-1403 or recalls.mopar.com, or call NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236; the SaferCar app is recommended to stay informed on recalls.
