Stellantis is recalling more than 1 million Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles due to a potential fire risk, according to notices from U.S. regulators. The recall covers vehicles with a defect that could lead to a fire condition. Until a repair is available, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises owners to take precautions to reduce risk. Both outlets report that owners should park the recalled vehicles outdoors and away from buildings or other structures. The guidance is intended to keep vehicles separated from enclosed areas while the manufacturer works to provide a remedy. The recall is presented as a safety action prompted by the possibility that the problem could result in fire. While the outlets agree on the overall scope and safety instructions, they do not provide further details in the excerpts about the specific component involved or the timeline for when repairs will be completed. Owners are expected to follow NHTSA’s instructions and await official instructions for how and when their vehicles can be repaired.
