What Happened
FCA US says 201,976 Jeeps in America are covered by a software recall over software that can shut down their tire-pressure monitors. The fault sits in the Radio Frequency Hub, and federal regulators list the case as campaign 26V559 under their safety-recall rules. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published the filing.
201,976
Estimated share with the defect: 100%.
- 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer
- 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L and Grand Cherokee PHEV
- 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L and Wagoneer L
- 2026 Jeep Cherokee
- A 2026 Grand Wagoneer L PHEV is also included.
If a monitor can no longer flag pressures outside the recommended range, a crash may follow with no warning beforehand, the filing says. Before the failure the driver might see a notice telling them to have the tire-pressure system serviced, an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp, or dashes where placard values should appear.
Dealers are notified and the recall opens for VIN searches.
Owner notification letters start.
The remedy calls for reprogramming the Radio Frequency Hub module with updated software. Dealers are to be told around September 9, 2026, while owner notifications go out around September 29, 2026. VINs become searchable on September 9, 2026, the same day dealer communication begins.
Why this matters
The problem is not the tires but the electronics that warn about them, so owners of the affected vehicles lose an early alert that can prevent a crash. Until the update is installed, those drivers and the dealers who service them are the ones affected. The federal filing estimates that every vehicle in the campaign carries the flaw.
