Jeep is recalling over 1 million Wranglers and Gladiators due to a potential fire risk. The recall affects vehicles from the 2021 through 2025 model years. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recalled vehicles should be parked outside and away from other vehicles or structures.
The recall covers 1,076,699 total Jeeps, with the Wrangler accounting for 787,887 vehicles and the Gladiator making up the remaining 289,112. The issue stems from an issue within the electric hydraulic power steering pump, which may create an electrical connection with high resistance, causing the wires to overheat and start a fire.
