Stellantis Recalls 201,976 Jeep Vehicles in the U.S.

Stellantis recall action covers 201,976 vehicles in the United States, according to the company’s September 8 announcement. The affected vehicles include 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer, 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L, 2025-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L, 2026 Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Grand Wagoneer L PHEV vehicles. The recall involves a potential software-related problem with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which could prevent the system from detecting low tire pressure or illuminating the required warning light. The action applies to vehicles sold in the U.S. market.

TPMS Software Error May Affect Warning Function

The U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration noted that a software error may cause the TPMS to fail to detect low tire pressure and/or fail to illuminate the TPMS warning light as intended. The affected TPMS units contained radio frequency hub modules supplied by Valeo. Because the issue concerns the system responsible for monitoring tire pressure and warning drivers, the software malfunction could prevent the intended notification when tire pressure falls below the appropriate level. The recall therefore addresses the software controlling the affected radio frequency hub modules rather than identifying a physical tire defect.

Dealers Will Update Radio Frequency Hub Software

As the remedy, dealers will update the radio frequency hub software in affected vehicles. The software update is intended to correct the TPMS functionality identified in the recall and restore the system’s ability to detect low tire pressure and provide the intended warning indication. Owners do not need to replace the tires based on the information provided in the recall announcement. The remedy will be performed through dealers, while owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed beginning September 29. The affected Stellantis vehicles span several Jeep models and model years, including gasoline, 4XE, and PHEV variants.

Recall Covers Multiple Jeep Model Lines

The recall affects a broad group of Jeep vehicles, with coverage extending across Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Cherokee 4XE, Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer L, Grand Wagoneer L, Cherokee, and Grand Wagoneer L PHEV models. The model-year range extends from 2024 through 2026, depending on the vehicle. The common issue is tied to the affected TPMS hardware and its software, rather than a single vehicle model. Owners of affected vehicles in the United States will receive notification letters beginning September 29 and can have the specified software update performed by dealers as the recall remedy.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The recall highlights the growing importance of software reliability in vehicle safety systems, particularly as electronic modules increasingly manage functions that provide drivers with critical warnings. For Stellantis and its affected Jeep models, the immediate priority is completing the software update across the recalled vehicles and ensuring owners receive the required notifications. The involvement of radio frequency hub modules supplied by Valeo also illustrates how software-related vehicle issues can involve components sourced across the automotive supply chain. The practical impact is concentrated on affected Jeep owners in the U.S., who depend on a functioning TPMS to receive intended low-pressure warnings.
