What's wrong?
The high mounted stop lamp harness on 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles is a bundle of wires that feeds the center brake light and rearview camera. The center brake light tells following drivers when you are braking, and the rearview camera sends the image to the display when the vehicle is in reverse.
On affected Wranglers, that harness was pinched between the spare tire carrier and the swing gate during assembly. A pinched wire can rub through or short circuit. When that happens, the center brake light stops working, the rearview camera image stops displaying, or both systems fail.
There is no warning sign before the wiring fails. The driver can notice the problem only after it happens, such as no rearview image appearing when the Wrangler is shifted into reverse.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A missing rearview camera image reduces visibility while backing up and increases crash risk. A center brake light failure also leaves drivers behind you without a clear slowing signal, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign before failure, but the blank reverse image is visible. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jeep dealer if your VIN shows an open recall; ask them to confirm whether the free harness repair was already completed.
- Schedule the center brake light and rearview camera harness replacement if the recall is still open; the repair fixes the short-circuit risk that can disable the camera image and brake light.
- Bring the recall notice if Jeep sent one, or reference recall number 24V676 when you call.
- Drive with extra care until the repair is confirmed complete. Check that the rearview camera displays and the center brake light illuminates before trips.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V676?
Recall 24V676 covers 46 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles with a rearview camera and center brake light wiring harness that can short circuit. The fault can disable the rear camera image and center brake light, increasing crash risk. Jeep dealers perform the covered repair for free.
What should I do if my 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Wrangler is included in recall 24V676. If it is, contact a franchised Jeep dealer and ask for recall 77B. The dealer will inspect the harness and replace the needed harness or spare tire carrier assembly for free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Jeep's remedy says dealers replace the center brake light and rearview camera harness, or the spare tire carrier and harness assembly, as needed, free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced visibility when backing up and reduced brake-light warning to drivers behind you. If the rearview camera image does not display, the driver has less rear visibility. If the center brake light fails, other drivers get less warning that the Wrangler is slowing.
What if I bought my Jeep Wrangler used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your Wrangler is included, then call a franchised Jeep dealer with recall number 77B. Owner letters were mailed September 26, 2024.
