What's wrong?
On the 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer S, the headlight aim adjusters are the built-in mechanisms a dealer uses to set where the headlight beam points. The vertical adjuster controls how high or low the beam sits on the road. The horizontal adjuster controls side-to-side position. Proper aim matters because the lights need to illuminate the road without being set in the wrong direction.
In NHTSA campaign 25V174, the problem is an assembly issue, not a failed bulb or wiring fault. Some vehicles were built with the vertical headlight aim adjustment plugged off, so it was not accessible without tools. At the same time, the horizontal aim adjustment was left accessible when it was intended to be covered. That setup means the headlights cannot be adjusted as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are not expected to see a dashboard light or a headlight outage from this issue.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrectly adjusted headlights can make it harder for the driver to see or can create glare for oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the aim issue matters on the road, so schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer S is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jeep dealer to schedule the free headlight-aim plug repair that restores proper access to the vertical aim adjustment and covers the horizontal aim adjustment.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 25V174 when you call.
- Use extra care at night until the repair is complete, because incorrect headlight aim can reduce visibility or create glare for oncoming traffic.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician removes the plugs blocking the vertical headlight aim adjustment and installs plugs on the horizontal aim adjustment where needed. That lets the headlight aim be adjusted as intended. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Chrysler's general reimbursement plan covers eligible out-of-pocket costs for this remedy before the owner notice. If you already paid for related headlight aim work, bring documentation to the service desk or contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403.
