2018 JEEP WRANGLER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler has 19 recalls, the most serious being a clutch pressure plate that can overheat and fracture on manual transmission models, shedding debris that can reach hot components and start a fire or cause a sudden loss of drive power. Two separate steering concerns also rank among the more serious issues: the front track bar bracket may be improperly welded and can separate from the frame, and the intermediate steering shaft may have a weld seam that splits, both of which reduce steering response and can contribute to a crash. A software defect in the cruise control system can cause the vehicle to maintain or increase speed even when the driver tries to cancel it. On the structural side, the rear underbody ladder rail can corrode prematurely, weakening the rear floor pan and loosening the left rear seat mount so the seat may detach in a crash. Right-hand-drive models have a separate concern where the driver's seatbelt buckle mounting strap can fracture and leave the belt non-functional. The right rear passenger door latch on four-door models may not be correctly positioned, allowing the door to open unexpectedly. Vehicles sold with a roof top tent have an additional concern: the tent cover can crack and detach while moving, creating a road hazard. Two electrical issues round out the list: the instrument panel cluster can fail due to an internal short, losing the speedometer and warning lights, and a wiring harness shared by the rearview camera and center brake light can short out and disable both. There is also a compliance-only recall for liftgate
