What's wrong?
The engine controller on affected 2021 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles is the powertrain control module, the computer that manages engine and transmission behavior. On these manual-transmission vehicles, it runs software from the earlier 19A recall repair. One of its jobs is to manage engine speed so the clutch system operates as intended.
The problem is in the updated 19A software loaded during the earlier remedy. An RPM reduction feature does not function properly. RPM means revolutions per minute, or how fast the engine is turning. When that feature acts incorrectly, the engine can stall, and the driver loses drive power until the vehicle is restarted or moved out of traffic.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the engine stalls, the vehicle gives an audible chime and the instrument panel displays a message.
Who's affected?
Gladiator and Wrangler are listed for the same manual-transmission engine-controller software.
| 2021 Jeep Gladiator | manual transmission |
|---|---|
| 2021 Jeep Wrangler | manual transmission |
| Units affected | 94 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 35 field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash because the vehicle can stop responding while in traffic. There is no warning sign before the failure. If the engine stalls, listen for the chime and check the instrument panel message, then move out of traffic if safe and arrange service. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021 Jeep Gladiator or Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jeep dealer to schedule the free powertrain control module software update, which fixes the engine-stall and loss-of-drive-power problem.
- Bring the recall notice if Jeep mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V572 when you call.
- Drive with extra following distance until the software update is complete. Pull over safely if the engine stalls.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician updates the powertrain control module software. The recall update is free, and vehicles already repaired under recall 23V-116 still need this new remedy completed. If you already paid for a repair tied to this problem before the recall notice, FCA US's reimbursement policy lets you request repayment. Send the original receipt or other proof of payment to FCA US for expense confirmation, as described in the owner letter.
