Jeep says 1 injury and 72 fires linked to Wrangler, Gladiator recall
Jeep has issued a recall for over 1 million Wrangler and Gladiator models (2021-2025) due to 72 reported fires and one injury, caused by a faulty electrical connection in the power steering pump. Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from buildings, even when off, as the defect can cause fires. Stellantis, Jeep's maker, is working on a fix by July, which may involve inspecting, repairing, or replacing the wiring harnesses and power steering pumps.
