Stellantis recalls 1.3 million Jeeps globally over fire risk
Stellantis NV recalled more than 1.3 million Jeep SUVs and trucks worldwide over fire risks linked to an electrical issue, urging owners to park away from structures until repairs are completed.
"An electrical connection in the steering pump wiring may overheat and cause combustible materials to ignite, potentially leading to a vehicle fire," Frank Matyok, a Stellantis spokesperson, said in a statement.
The recall covers 2021 to 2025 model-year Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles, with approximately 1.08 million of the affected units in the United States. Significant numbers were also reported in Canada, Mexico, and other global markets. The automaker said it anticipates a fix no later than July but has not yet identified a specific remedy.
The recall is the latest in a series of safety actions involving Jeep products. Stellantis previously recalled plug-in hybrid versions of the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee at least three times for issues including fire risks, engine problems, and sudden power loss. The company discontinued its plug-in hybrid lineup at the end of 2025. The massive scale of the latest recall is expected to weigh on Stellantis' stock as investors assess potential repair costs, legal liabilities, and brand reputation damage. Public recall documents are scheduled to be published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on June 9.
