NHTSA Orders Recall of 163,735 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs Over Door-Trim Detachment

Dealers will inspect and replace the trim at no cost with owner notices due by Oct. 31.

Overview

  • The recall covers specific 2022–2025 model-year Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles in the United States.
  • Regulators warn that detached door-trim pieces can create a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing crash risk.
  • NHTSA characterizes the problem as an assembly issue rather than a defective part based on the safety recall report.
  • Chrysler reported no crashes or injuries as of Aug. 29, but logged 405 warranty claims, three field reports and 112 service records potentially related to the issue.
  • Stellantis did not immediately comment, and owners can check the NHTSA VIN database to confirm whether their vehicle is affected.
