Safety Recalls
Official recall campaigns. Tap one to see the danger and the fix.
What is a recall, really?
A recall means the government made the manufacturer admit a safety defect — and the fix is free at any dealer, forever, even for used cars. Recalls range from a software update to "the steering wheel can detach," so read the danger line on each one. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof each recall was completed, or have a dealer run the VIN. Recalls also have a quieter cousin worth reading: technical service bulletins.
NHTSA Campaign 26V326000
What's wrong: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer L vehicles.

The danger: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Where Owners Report Problems
Where owners report the most trouble — based on 1 complaints. Tap a part to read the real reports.
Raw count — best-sellers naturally log more complaints than rare cars, so judge it against the peer comparison below, not on its own.
Why don't we show complaints per vehicle sold?
Because no official source publishes sales counts per model — that data is sold by private firms, and the free numbers online are guesses. A rate built on a guessed denominator is a guess wearing a lab coat, so we refuse to show one. Instead we show comparisons where fleet size cancels out or is disclosed: the same model across its own years, the crash/fire severity mix, and the peer ranking below — each with its methodology attached.
Real owner reports filed with NHTSA (showing 1 of 1):
On XXX, a 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer towing a camper/trailer experienced a safety interlock failure resulting in an unintended vehicle rollaway and severe personal injuries. While leaving an RV park in [XXX], the driver felt a dragging from the trailer, stopped the vehicle, unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the driver's door, and exited the vehicle while the engine was running. Unbeknownst to the occupants, the driver did not manually shift the transmission into park prior to exiting. The Grand Wagoneer is equipped with two factor-designed automated safety interlocks intended specifically to prevent unexpected rollaways: 1. AutoPark: designed to automatically shift the transmission into park if the engine is running, the driver's seatbelt is unbuckled, and the driver's door is opened while the vehicle is in gear. 2. SafeHold: designed to automatically engage the electric parking brake if the driver exits while the engine is running and no pedals are pressed. Both "AutoPark" and "SafeHold" safety features failed to activate or engage. Because neither system functioned as intended, the vehicle and attached trailer rolled rolled forward unexpectedly while a passenger was underneath the trailer checking its braking assembly. The attached trailer ran over the passenger, causing severe injuries. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Crash-Test Safety Ratings
Official U.S. government 5-star crash-test results.
How to read these stars
These come from the government physically crash-testing this vehicle — front, side, and rollover — and scoring it 1 to 5 stars. Ratings are per body style, so a sedan and its coupe twin can differ. If a vehicle shows no rating, it usually means the government never tested that exact configuration — untested is not the same as unsafe, and we'll never blur that line.
