Stellantis is initiating two recalls affecting nearly 280,000 Jeep vehicles in the United States due to issues with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
The primary recall involves 201,976 vehicles, including certain Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, and Cherokee models, stemming from a software error. This error can prevent the TPMS from detecting low tire pressure or illuminating the warning light, thereby increasing the risk of a crash and violating federal safety standards.
A secondary recall impacts approximately 79,000 Jeep Wrangler vehicles from model years 2024 and 2025. In these vehicles, a remote start antenna cable may be pinched under the rear seatbelt retractor bracket, potentially causing the TPMS to malfunction. This also poses a crash risk and noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 138, which requires the TPMS warning light to illuminate within 20 minutes of a significant pressure drop.
For both recalls, dealerships will rectify the issues free of charge. In the case of the software error, the radio frequency hub software will be updated. For the pinched cable issue, dealers will inspect and replace the cable if necessary. Customers are expected to be notified by mail starting September 2, 2025.
