Jeep has issued a recall for nearly 80,000 Wrangler SUVs from the 2024 and 2025 model years after discovering a defect in the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue stems from a pinched cable that can prevent the system from properly detecting low tire pressure and illuminating the warning light.
The problem was traced to a remote start antenna cable that can become trapped beneath the left rear seat belt retractor bracket. FCA US began investigating unusual warning light behavior in October 2024, and by July 2025 engineers confirmed the assembly-related defect.
In total, 78,989 vehicles are affected, but Jeep estimates that only about 1% — roughly 790 units — actually carry the defect. Owners will receive notifications beginning early next month, advising them to visit dealerships where technicians will inspect and, if necessary, replace the cable.
At present, Jeep has not yet finalized the remedy, but stresses the importance of inspections since TPMS plays a critical role in road and off-road safety.
