What's wrong?
The tail lights on a 2024 Jeep Wrangler tell drivers behind you when the vehicle is braking, turning, or visible at night. On a Wrangler, those lamps sit close to the rear-mounted spare tire, so the lamp position and the tire clearance have to work together.
On affected Wranglers, the wrong tail lamp assembly was installed because the production instructions released the wrong lamp and spare tire combination. The lamp itself is not described as broken. The problem is fit and visibility: with that combination installed, the spare tire obstructs part of the tail light, so the vehicle does not meet the federal lighting rule for lamps and reflective equipment.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would not feel a change while driving; the issue is visible only by checking the rear lighting setup and confirming whether the VIN is included in recall 24V585.

What's the safety risk?
Obstructed tail lights make the Wrangler harder for other drivers to see, increasing the risk of a crash. Schedule the recall repair soon and keep the lights clear until it is done. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Jeep Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Jeep dealer to schedule the free tail-light replacement that fixes the spare-tire obstruction.
- Bring the recall notice if Jeep mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V585 and Jeep recall 90B when you call.
- Avoid low-visibility trips until the repair is complete, because obstructed tail lights reduce how well other drivers can see the Wrangler.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician replaces the incorrect tail lights with the proper parts so the spare tire does not obstruct the lamps. Parts and labor are free under the recall. If you paid out of pocket for a related tail light repair before the recall notice, Jeep's reimbursement process asks for the original receipt or other proof of payment so the expense can be confirmed. Keep that paperwork with you when you contact customer service or speak with the dealer.
