Stellantis is having a week. More specifically, its Jeep brand is. Two separate recalls have been issued to fix a couple of quite different issues, one software-related and the other mechanical in nature. And they add up to nearly 300,000 Jeep SUVs being called back to get something fixed.
There’s no official word yet on a Canadian recall or how many vehicles here may be affected by either issue. That should come before long.
The safety actions, filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), address a software defect in tire pressure monitoring systems and a mechanical fault involving detaching roof rack crossbars.
A software glitch sabotaging the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The larger campaign affects nearly 202,000 SUVs across multiple Jeep product lines due to a failure in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The main affected vehicles are the following:
- - 2024–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- - 2024–2026 Grand Cherokee L
- - 2024–2025 Wagoneer
Jeep also says some Wagoneer L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L, Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and select 2026 Cherokee SUVs are impacted.
The problem
According to recall documentation, the defect stems from software within the Radio Frequency Hub (RFH) rather than any issue with physical tire sensors. The software can fail to update pressure values relied upon by the TPMS, preventing the system from warning drivers when tire pressure drops significantly and violating federal motor vehicle safety standards.
Drivers may observe a Service Tire Pressure System message, an illuminated warning light or blank pressure readings on the instrument cluster.
Jeep initiated an investigation last year after internal testing revealed compliance anomalies. Working alongside its supplier, the automaker identified software anomalies that prompted an expanded recall scope to include additional 2026 model-year vehicles. Stellantis estimates a 100-percent defect rate across the recalled population.
The solution
Authorized Jeep dealerships will reprogram the Radio Frequency Hub software free of charge. Dealer notification began on September 9, 2026, while owner notification letters are scheduled for mailing out between September 29 and October 21.
Roof crossbars that could fly off
The second safety action involves 97,349 full-size SUVs, specifically:
- - 2022–2025 Jeep Wagoneer
- - 2022–2026 Grand Wagoneer
- - 2023–2025 Wagoneer L
- - 2023–2026 Grand Wagoneer L
A companion recall covers 3,038 Mopar aftermarket roof-rack kits spanning six part numbers, some produced as recently as July 10, 2026.
The problem
Federal filings indicate that the pivot bolts securing the roof crossbars may have been insufficiently torqued during assembly. Under even normal driving conditions, loose pivot bolts can allow the crossbar assembly to detach from the vehicle roof, creating a road hazard for trailing traffic and increasing the risk of a crash.
Drivers may experience advance warning through rattling noises, visibly missing hardware or physical separation at the pivot joint.
Stellantis considers the entire population of 97,349 vehicles potentially affected by the assembly defect. As of August 31, the company was aware of 15 related worldwide warranty claims, with no reports of crashes or injuries.
The solution
Dealership service departments will replace the roof-crossbar pivot bolts with newly designed hardware at no cost to owners. Initial owner notification letters alerting drivers to the issue will be mailed after October 8, 2026, followed by a second notification once replacement hardware becomes available.
