WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) – Stellantis said on Tuesday it is recalling more than 1.3 million Jeep SUVs and trucks worldwide over fire concerns and urged owners to park away from structures or other vehicles until a fix is completed.
The recall covers 2021-2025 model year Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator trucks over an electrical connection issue in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring, which in rare circumstances could cause combustible materials to overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire.
The recall includes nearly 1.08 million vehicles in the United States, 106,000 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and about 125,000 in other markets around the world, Stellantis said.
