Stellantis Canada recalls over 100K Jeeps due to fire concerns

Automaker Stellantis has issued a recall for over 100,000 Jeep vehicles in Canada due to fire concerns.

Anyone with a Jeep Wrangler or a Jeep Gladiator vehicle with the model year between 2021 and 2025 are being asked to park their cars away from other vehicles and structures until the issue is fixed.

William Clavey, product communications at Stellantis Canada, says it’s a part of a global recall affecting over a million vehicles that may have a faulty electrical connection in their electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring that could overheat.

Clavey says in rare circumstances, that could lead to a vehicle fire but reassures drivers that the automaker is working to resolve the issue no later than July.
