What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical safety system—the automatic transmission's park mechanism. Failure of the park pawl can directly result in unintended vehicle rollaway and crash risk.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Gladiator vehicles. The automatic transmission's park pawl—the component that holds the vehicle in park position—may fail to properly engage with the parking mechanism.

When the park pawl does not properly engage, the vehicle can lose its park position and roll away unintentionally. This increases the risk of vehicle rollaway accidents and crashes.

Approximately 11 vehicles are affected. Owners should contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to schedule a free transmission replacement. FCA's reference number for this recall is Z84. Unsold units in dealer inventory will be repaired before delivery.

For additional information, owners can contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov. The NHTSA Campaign Number is 22V639000.
