Stellantis is recalling 201,976 Jeep SUVs in the U.S. because a software glitch in the radio frequency hub module can quietly disable the tire pressure monitoring system, meaning the dashboard warning light may never come on even when a tire is dangerously low, according to Chrysler’s recall report filed with NHTSA under campaign number 26V559.
The defect sits in the RF Hub, the module that talks to each wheel’s tire pressure sensor and decides whether to light up the telltale on the instrument cluster. When the software glitches, it can fail to register that a tire has dropped below the safe threshold, so the warning simply never fires. Federal law requires every new vehicle sold in the U.S. to have a working TPMS, and driving on a significantly underinflated tire without knowing it raises the odds of a blowout, especially at highway speed or under heavy load.
What’s Affected
- 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer (16,456 units)
- 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L (9,749 units)
- 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee (113,647 units)
- 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L (57,456 units)
- 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe/PHEV (526 units)
- 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (3,046 units)
- 2025-2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L (1,094 units)
- 2026 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer L PHEV (limited early-build units)
That’s a lot of ground to cover across Stellantis’s most expensive SUV lineup, from the mainstream Grand Cherokee that anchors Jeep showrooms to the six-figure Grand Wagoneer L flagship. The reach of this recall says more about how much shared electrical architecture now runs across Jeep’s whole SUV family than about any one model being singled out.
Key Points
- The fix is a free software reflash of the RF Hub module at any Jeep dealer, no parts replacement involved.
- Owner notification letters are scheduled to go out starting September 29, 2026.
- Reuters, which first reported the recall’s scope, notes it stems from a software error that can prevent the TPMS from detecting or displaying low tire pressure.
- No crashes or injuries tied to the defect had been confirmed as of the filing.
Because the failure is silent, there’s no dashboard cue telling an owner something is wrong until the software update is actually installed. That makes this a recall where checking your own tires by hand matters more than usual.
What Owners Should Do
- Check whether your VIN is included using NHTSA’s recall lookup tool or Jeep’s own owner recall portal.
- Manually check tire pressure with a gauge at least monthly until the software update is installed, rather than relying on the dashboard light.
- Schedule the free RF Hub software update with a Jeep dealer once notified; Stellantis customer service can be reached for recall questions once letters go out.
This is the second Stellantis tire pressure recall to hit Jeep’s Wagoneer-based lineup in recent years, underscoring how much of modern vehicle safety now depends on code running correctly in the background rather than a mechanical part simply working as designed.
