    This action involves 62,909 vehicles. The recalled Jeeps were built between September 2, 2020, when the 2021 model year production began, and ended on August 17, 2022. Documents filed with NHTSA indicate that 100 percent of the targeted group have the defect, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

    The company is aware of two crashes and an injury potentially related to this problem. 

    Owners will be notified in mid-January 2023.

    Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.

    If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
