1 896 Jeeps Recalled

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) informs consumers that Stellantis South Africa (Pty) Ltd is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator vehicles. The recall affects a total of 1 896 vehicles, of which 1 881 were sold nationally. The affected vehicles were made available for sale between 2021 and 2025.

According to the supplier, the affected vehicles are fitted with an Electric Hydraulic Power Steering Pump (EHPS), which may have an electrical connection susceptible to high resistance. This could result in a warning indicating the loss of power steering assistance or a “Service Power Steering”. In certain circumstances, high-resistance electrical activity may take place in the area of the EHPS connection, causing overheating of combustible materials. Overheating of combustible materials in the vehicle or surrounding area may potentially lead to a fire. This may result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle.

The NCC urges consumers to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised Jeep dealership for inspection and the necessary repairs, which will be carried out at no cost. Consumers can also check whether their vehicles are affected by using the VIN check facility on the Jeep website.

  2. Fun South African Fact: Some of the earliest evidence of human evolution has been unearthed at fossil sites northwest of Johannesburg in the Sterkfontein Caves! Archaeologists have discovered human remains here, some of which are more than 2 million years old! These discoveries have earned the area the title of “the Cradle of Humankind” which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
