cnbc.comStellantis is recalling nearly 1.08 million Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators in the U.S. due to a potential fire hazard linked to an electrical connection issue. The company notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the recall covering 2021-2025 model years. The NHTSA said the fires could occur even when the vehicle is parked with the ignition switched off.
Recall details Stellantis stated the Jeeps may have an electrical connection issue in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring. In rare circumstances, this may cause combustible materials to overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire. The company advised owners to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained.
Affected customers will be notified by first-class mail when they can schedule service.
Timeline and scope Stellantis said it anticipates a solution no later than July and is working to make remedies available. The recall also covers 253,000 vehicles in Canada, Mexico, and markets outside North America.
