What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. 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.
