The 2007 Jeep Wrangler has 7 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin during deployment.
The driver's airbag has a separate concern: the clockspring assembly, which maintains the electrical connection to the steering wheel, can be contaminated by dust, particularly on vehicles frequently driven with the doors or roof removed. If the clockspring fails, the driver's frontal airbag may not deploy in a crash. On the brake side, fender liners can rub against the front and rear brake tubes and wear through them, causing a brake fluid leak and reducing braking force at the affected wheel. The engine's main power control module can be programmed with software that allows the engine to stall without warning, which raises the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission models driven hard in off-road conditions, transmission fluid can overheat and boil over onto hot engine or exhaust components, creating a fire risk.
