Stellantis is recalling more than 1 million Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators over a spontaneous fire risk, telling drivers to park outside and away from structures while the automaker works on a solution.
The 2021–2025 Wranglers and Gladiators may have a problem with the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring that can lead to a fire. The recall covers an estimated 1,077,000 vehicles.
“In rare circumstances, this may cause combustible materials to overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire,” Frank Matyok, a Stellantis spokesperson, said in a statement.
Recalled vehicles should be parked outside and away from structures while Stellantis works on a remedy, the company said. The automaker said it “anticipates a solution no later than July.”
Once a solution has been found, Stellantis said, it will notify owners via mail on how to schedule service at a Stellantis dealership, where the vehicle can be inspected and, if necessary, have the wiring harness and electric hydraulic power steering pump replaced.
The recall is the largest in a string of large recalls on Jeep products, largely the plug-in hybrid variants of the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, which suffered similar fire risks. Those hybrid vehicles were recalled at least three times for a slew of concerns, including risks of explosions, fires, sandy engines, and sudden loss of power. At the end of 2025, Stellantis discontinued its plug-in hybrid line of vehicles.
Publicly available recall paperwork will be published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Tuesday, June 9.
