What's wrong?
The Brake System Control Module, or BSCM, is the computer tied into the brake booster and master cylinder on the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer L. The booster helps multiply pedal force, the master cylinder turns that force into hydraulic brake pressure, and the BSCM helps manage electronic stability control and electronic brake assist.
On affected SUVs, the BSCM has suspect software. That software can fault in a way that disables electronic stability control and removes electronic brake assist. Stability control helps the vehicle stay on the driver's intended path during a skid or loss of traction. Brake assist helps add braking force when the system detects a hard stop.
There is no warning sign before failure. Once the BSCM has faulted, multiple warning lights in the instrument panel cluster are the warning to watch for.
Who's affected?
Covers both Grand Wagoneer body lengths, with scope tied to electronic stability control and hydraulic brake software.

What's the safety risk?
A faulted brake system control module can take away electronic stability control or electronic brake assist, which increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning before failure. After the fault, multiple warning lights can appear in the instrument cluster. Repair will be free at any franchised Jeep dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer L is included in this recall.
- Watch for Jeep's owner letter expected July 30, 2026, then contact a franchised Jeep dealer about the free repair.
- Ask the dealer when the brake system control module software update opens; it fixes the loss of electronic stability control and electronic brake assist.
- Bring the owner letter once it arrives. If you call before then, reference recall number 26V414.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid sudden braking when possible.
What happens at the repair
Once Jeep opens the dealer repair, a Jeep technician will update the brake system control module software. That software update addresses the control logic tied to electronic stability control and electronic brake assist. The final dealer repair will be free once available. The manufacturer used its general reimbursement plan on file for this recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related brake system software repair, bring documentation to the service desk and ask how to submit it under that plan.
