What's wrong?
The roof top tent on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler is mounted above the vehicle and covered by a hard top cover when the tent is closed. That cover is supposed to shield the tent material and stay secured to the vehicle while the Wrangler is being driven.
On affected Wranglers, the tent cover can crack or break after exposure to extreme cold weather. The recall traces the problem to a supplier issue with the cover. Once the cover cracks, the damaged area can spread under normal vibration and wind pressure while driving. If the cover breaks loose, it can detach from the vehicle while it is moving.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should treat any cracked, broken, loose, or shifted roof top tent cover as a sign that the cover is no longer secured as designed.

What's the safety risk?
If the roof top tent cover detaches while the Jeep is moving, it can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before detachment. Check that the cover is secure before driving and schedule the recall repair once it opens. Repair will be free at any franchised Jeep dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Jeep Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Wait for Jeep or the recall administrator to provide final repair or repurchase instructions before scheduling work.
- Call customer service at 1-844-533-7997 with questions and reference recall number 19V320 when you call.
- Inspect the roof top tent cover before driving and secure the vehicle if the cover is cracked, loose, or damaged.
- Drive cautiously until the remedy is issued, and avoid hauling loose roof top tent parts that can detach and create a road hazard.
What happens at the repair
The final repair for this recall is still under development, so do not treat the dealer remedy as ready to schedule. The issue involves the roof top tent cover on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Once American Fastbacks opens the remedy, a Jeep technician or authorized service path will address the tent cover problem, and the recall repair will be free. This vehicle is also included in recall 19V-190, so ask the service desk to check both recall campaigns when your VIN is reviewed. American Fastbacks has a general reimbursement plan on file for documented pre-recall repairs. Contact customer service at 1-844-533-7997 extension 301 to ask how to submit paperwork.
