More than 200,000 Jeep vehicles are being recalled across the United States because of a software problem that could prevent drivers from receiving a proper warning when tire pressure becomes dangerously low.

Stellantis is recalling 201,976 vehicles, according to a notice from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported by Reuters.

What Is the Problem?

The issue involves the vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Federal safety regulators said a software error may prevent the low-tire-pressure warning light from illuminating as required.

That means a driver could potentially continue operating a vehicle without realizing that one or more tires are significantly underinflated.

Why Low Tire Pressure Can Be Dangerous

Underinflated tires can affect vehicle handling and braking and may increase the risk of tire failure.

They can also reduce fuel efficiency and cause tires to wear more quickly.

Because drivers often rely on the dashboard warning system to alert them to pressure problems, regulators require the system to operate correctly.

How Many Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall covers 201,976 Jeep vehicles in the United States.

Owners of affected vehicles are expected to receive notification letters explaining what they need to do.

Dealers will address the software problem free of charge, according to the recall information.

What Jeep Owners Should Do

Drivers don’t necessarily need to wait for a dashboard warning to check their tires.

Owners can manually check tire pressure and compare it with the recommended pressure printed on the vehicle’s door-jamb labe.

Drivers can also use their vehicle identification number, or VIN, to determine whether their Jeep is included in an active recall through the federal government’s official recall database.

Recall Repairs Are Free

Vehicle recalls involving safety defects are generally repaired by authorized dealers at no cost to the owner.

Anyone whose Jeep is included should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and arrange the repair once it becomes available.

With nearly 202,000 vehicles affected, owners are being encouraged to check their VIN rather than assume their vehicle is unaffected based only on its model.
