2024 Jeep Wrangler

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Jeep Wrangler and 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. For this Jeep recall, a hybrid control processor (HCP) software error may cause the defrosting and defogging system to be inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, “Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems.”

An inoperative windshield defrosting and defogging system may decrease the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the HCP software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 5, 2024. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s number for this recall is 04B.

If you own a 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee or 2021-2024 Jeep Wrangler, be sure to consult the NHTSA recalls portion of the website and type in the specific VIN of your vehicle to see if this current recall applies to you.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
