Our severity reasoning: This recall addresses a structural vehicle safety defect in brake light and rearview camera systems governed by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. No deaths, injuries, or crash incidents are reported in the source. The recall meets the High severity threshold for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The wiring harness for the rearview camera and center brake light may short circuit, which can disable the rearview camera image and prevent the center brake light from functioning.

When the rearview camera image does not display, the driver loses visibility to the rear, increasing the risk of a backing-related crash. When the center brake light fails to illuminate, other drivers cannot see that the vehicle is slowing down, also increasing crash risk. The vehicles fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards numbers 111 (Rear Visibility) and 108 (Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment).

This recall affects approximately 46 vehicles across the 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler model years. All vehicles were repaired by January 15, 2024, with dealers replacing the affected harness components at no charge to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed September 26, 2024.

If you own one of these vehicles, contact your Jeep dealer for repair status or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number 77B). Additional information is available through the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or www.nhtsa.gov.
