Jeep Wagoneer Recalls

The Jeep Wagoneer has 24 recalls spanning 1974 through 2025, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2022 models where incorrect software in the occupant restraint controller can disable the driver, passenger, and knee airbags without warning, leaving occupants unprotected in a crash.

The current generation, covering 2022 through 2025, carries the bulk of the recall activity. On the airbag and crash protection side, 2023-2024 models have a clockspring in the steering column that can fail and prevent the driver's airbag from deploying in a crash. The upper B-pillar interior trim on 2022-2023 vehicles can sit improperly seated and block the side curtain airbag from deploying fully during a rollover or side impact. Third-row seat belts on 2022-2024 models can be difficult to reach and fasten, and the second-row center seat back on 2022 models can fail to lock upright, both raising injury risk in a crash.

The 2023 model year has a software error that can cause the transmission gear position indicator to stop displaying, creating the risk of unintended rollaway. Rearview camera failures appear across multiple years: on 2022-2024 models, the park assist software can prevent the camera image from showing when backing up, and a separate radio software issue on 2022-2023 models can also black out the rear view. The 2024 model year has an additional rearview camera software fault with the same result. Door and window trim on 2022-2025 vehicles can detach and become road hazards, with three separate recalls covering front door trim, quarter window trim, and door trim across overlapping year ranges within that span.

Going further back, the 1989-1990 models have ABS-related brake issues: on 1990 vehicles, the ABS high-pressure hose can leak hydraulic fluid, reducing brake assist and risking an engine compartment fire, while on 1989 models, contaminants from the ABS low-pressure hose can clog the booster pump filter and disable anti-lock braking. The 1987 model year with the 4.0-litre engine has a throttle body that can stick and prevent the engine from returning to idle when the accelerator is released. The 1985 model has two separate issues: diesel-equipped vehicles have a brake vacuum tank vulnerable to impact damage that can cause sudden loss of power-assisted braking, and a loose intermediate steering shaft bolt can result in loss of steering control. The 1984 model has both a rear axle assembly defect and a steering control bolt issue, either of which can cause wheel separation or total steering loss. The 1979-1980 models have a rear wheel bearing and axle shaft assembly that can separate from the vehicle while moving. The 1974 model has a power tailgate window that can continue closing without releasing, posing a pinching and injury risk, particularly to children.
