SouthernWorldwide.com – Chrysler is initiating a significant recall affecting over 1 million Jeep vehicles, specifically the Wrangler and Gladiator models, due to a potential fire hazard. The concern is that the wiring for the electric hydraulic power steering pump can overheat.
This overheating issue poses a risk of vehicle fires, even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is turned off. The affected model years span from 2021 to 2025.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has documented this recall, highlighting the seriousness of the potential malfunction. Chrysler has issued a strong advisory to vehicle owners.
Owners of the affected Jeeps are strongly advised to park their vehicles outdoors and ensure they are kept away from any structures. This precautionary measure is recommended until the necessary repairs can be performed on the vehicles.
Chrysler will be addressing this issue by having dealerships inspect the affected vehicles. If necessary, dealerships will replace the parts that are prone to overheating, and this service will be provided free of charge to the owners.
The company expects to begin mailing out owner notification letters on July 9, 2026. This will provide affected customers with detailed information and instructions on how to proceed with the recall service.
