Jeep Wranglers, Jeep Gladiators recalled for an instrument panel failure
Chrysler's parent company Stellantis is recalling 32,863 of its 2020-2024 Jeep Gladiator (11,554) and 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler (21,309) vehicles. The recall report said the "instrument panel cluster may experience an internal short circuit and fail." When an instrument panel fails to display the necessary information a driver needs, like the speedometer and warning lights, it can increase the risk of a crash, the report said.
"These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, ‘Controls and Displays,’” the NHTSA report said.
As a free service, dealers will replace the instrument panel cluster. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by Oct. 3. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 30B.
Recalled vehicles:
- 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler
- 2020-2024 Jeep Gladiator
Ram 1500 pickup trucks recalled for a software malfunction
Stellantis is also recalling 1,227,808 of its 2019 and 2021-2024 Ram 1500 vehicles for a software malfunction.
The software malfunction "can cause the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module to disable the electronic stability control system," the recall report said. If a driver operates their vehicle with a disabled electronic stability control system, it can increase the risk of a crash, the report said.
In addition, the automobile company said it is recalling 7,299 of its MOPAR ABS used as replacement parts in the recalled vehicles.
To resolve the issue, dealers will update the ABS control module software. This service will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent on Oct. 3. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 85B.
Recalled vehicles:
- 2019 Ram 1500
- 2021-2024 Ram 1500
Frank Matyok, a spokesperson for Stellantis, said in a statement to USA TODAY that additional Ram 1500s are being recalled in the following countries:
- Canada, 158,670 vehicles
- Mexico, 13,419 vehicles
- Markets outside North America, 61,072 vehicles
