A major Jeep Wagoneer recall affects 97,349 SUVs across multiple model years after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported a safety issue involving roof crossbars that could detach from the vehicles.
Nearly 100,000 Jeep SUVs Affected
The NHTSA safety recall covers four Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models, with production dates spanning several years:
- 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: 22,144 units built from Feb 24, 2021 – Oct 30, 2025
- 2023-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L: 9,350 units built from May 04, 2022 – Oct 30, 2025
- 2022-2025 Jeep Wagoneer: 54,249 units built from Mar 08, 2021 – Oct 10, 2025
- 2023-2025 Jeep Wagoneer L: 11,606 units built from May 11, 2022 – Oct 09, 2025
Together, the four groups account for 97,349 affected vehicles. The recall involves models with varying production dates, and the NHTSA report notes that production dates determine which vehicles were equipped with the factory crossbars.
Loose Roof Crossbar Bolts Create Safety Risk
According to the NHTSA report, some Wagoneer variants were equipped with roof crossbars that have insufficiently torqued pivot bolts. The loose bolts can allow a crossbar to detach from the vehicle.
A component that detaches from a moving vehicle can create a road hazard for the vehicle’s occupants and other motorists. The report says the detached part can cause other vehicles to crash without prior warning.
Customers may also notice a rattling noise coming from the crossbar. According to the recall report, that noise can indicate that the bolt is loose or already missing.
Previous Jeep Wagoneer Recall
This is not the first recall involving Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer body parts that could detach while the vehicles are on the road. About a year ago, a batch of 123,000 Jeep SUVs was also recalled over quarter window trim pieces that could detach while driving.
The latest recall affects 97,349 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles across multiple model years, with the NHTSA report identifying loose roof crossbar pivot bolts as the safety issue.
