NHTSA Campaign: 19V018000
Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2010 Dodge Ram 3500, Ram 4500/5500, 2010-2011 Dodge Dakota, 2010-2014 Dodge Challenger, 2010-2015 Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300, and 2010-2016 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. Upon deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to explode.
Risk: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could explode with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
Fix: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V01.
NHTSA Campaign: 19V680000
Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2011-2018 Jeep Wrangler right hand drive vehicles. The driver's seat belt buckle mounting strap may fracture and separate from the seat frame.
Risk: A separated or severed seat belt buckle strap will result in an inoperable seat belt, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's seat belt buckle, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed November 19, 2019. Owners will received a second letter and the recall began March 26, 2020. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is VA6.
NHTSA Campaign: 16V288000
Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Right Hand Drive Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured February 16, 2010, to May 2, 2016. The clockspring assembly may become contaminated with dust and cause the air bag circuit to fail.
Risk: Failure of the air bag circuit may prevent the driver's frontal air bag from deploying in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clockspring, wheel back cover, and column shroud, free of charge. The recall began on August 11, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S40.
NHTSA Campaign: 14V632000
Component: TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured March 20, 2014, to April 22, 2014, and 2014 Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured March 21, 2014, to April 22, 2014. Due to a software error, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Risk: If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the TPMS module, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P63.
Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 637)
Service Brakes →9 issues
Your ABS control module has been on backorder since May 2025 through your Jeep dealership, and this part is only available directly from MOPAR with no third-party options. While waiting for this part, your vehicle's ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Descent Assist, and cruise control are all disabled, which reduces braking safety especially in wet or winter conditions. The dealership has repeatedly delayed the expected delivery date, and Stellantis reports the part is under engineering review with no confirmed release date.

Your ABS module failed, causing your Jeep to shake violently on the freeway and creating a serious risk that your brakes could lock up unexpectedly. When the module failed, your ABS, brake, and traction control warning lights all came on at once. The dealer confirmed that replacement parts are on indefinite backorder from Stellantis/Mopar, and even rebuilt modules aren't available, leaving your vehicle unsafe to drive for over a year with no solution in sight. Fixing this will require replacing or rebuilding the ABS module, but parts are currently unavailable.

Your ABS module has failed, which means your anti-lock brakes, cruise control, and traction control no longer work. Jeep doesn't currently have replacement modules in stock or a timeline for fixing this issue. Without these safety features, your Jeep is operating with outdated braking technology, and there's a risk it could enter limp mode, which would prevent you from driving. The fix will require replacing the ABS module once Jeep has them available.

Your Jeep's ABS (anti-lock brake) module has failed, causing both the ABS and brake warning lights to stay on continuously. This is a known issue affecting multiple 2014 Wranglers, and the replacement module (part number 68145835AE) is on national backorder with extended delays. The underlying cause appears to be a failed chip within the module that is no longer available.

Your brake warning lights came on, and your Jeep dealer identified a faulty AntiLock Brake module as the cause. The part has been on backorder for about 5 months, and despite the manufacturer showing it as available online, neither the dealer nor Chrysler has been able to supply it for your vehicle. You're concerned that driving with this defective module could eventually lead to brake failure and an accident. Fixing this issue will require replacing the AntiLock Brake module once it becomes available from the manufacturer.

Your ABS pump (which helps prevent wheel lock-up on slippery surfaces) is faulty and may not function properly on icy or wet roads. The replacement part has been unavailable for an extended period, making safe braking difficult in bad weather conditions. Fixing this will require replacing the ABS pump assembly.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) module has been identified as faulty and is causing your Jeep to enter a reduced-power "limp" mode that prevents normal acceleration, especially when trying to merge into traffic. A replacement module has been ordered but is on backorder with a long wait time due to multiple owners experiencing the same issue. While the vehicle is still drivable, the acceleration limitation creates a safety concern in traffic situations. The fix will require replacing the ABS module once it becomes available.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) warning light has been on continuously since 2022, and you haven't been able to drive your Jeep because replacement parts aren't available from MOPAR or other suppliers. Multiple mechanics have been unable to fix the problem due to the lack of available parts. The fix will require sourcing and installing a replacement ABS module or control unit once parts become available.

Steering,suspension,power Train →1 issue
Your Jeep experiences a severe vibration and steering issue commonly called "death wobble," where the front end shakes uncontrollably, particularly at highway speeds. The dealership is aware of the problem but has not successfully repaired it or documented the issue. This requires diagnosis of the steering and suspension components to identify and correct the root cause.

Air Bags →1 issue
You have a do-not-drive airbag recall on your Jeep, but you're having trouble getting help coordinating a safe repair. Your dealership isn't offering towing despite the recall's severity, and FCA's call center has been difficult to communicate with. You're concerned that being told to drive the vehicle to the dealership contradicts the do-not-drive warning and puts you at risk. Resolving this will likely require working with FCA directly to arrange towing and clarify recall procedures with your dealership.

Electrical System,vehicle Speed Control,service Brakes →1 issue
Your ABS module failed while you were driving on the freeway, causing your vehicle to enter a safety fail-safe mode that limited your speed to about 20 mph and made your speedometer stop working. This happened suddenly while you were in traffic going 60 mph, creating a dangerous situation for you and other drivers. The dealership has had your vehicle since October 2025, but the replacement ABS module is on national backorder with no estimated arrival date. Fixing this issue requires replacing the failed ABS module, though the part is currently unavailable.

Suspension →1 issue
After having suspension work done at a repair shop, your Jeep developed a severe vibration called "death wobble" that made it unsafe to control while driving on the highway. The vibration was dangerous enough that you had to pull over to regain control of the vehicle. The repair shop has refused to tow the vehicle back for warranty work, and your car has been undrivable for a month. Getting the suspension components properly realigned and inspected—and potentially replaced if they were damaged during the initial repairs—should resolve the wobble.
