Chrysler safety recalls for Jeep and Ram vehicles

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) has announced three separate recalls in the United States, affecting the 2026 Jeep Cherokee and Wrangler models, as well as 2025-2026 Ram 1500-5500 pickups. The issues involve stability control systems, child seat anchors, and instrument panel software.

Jeep Cherokee 2026: ABS and ESC Failure Risk

This recall covers 241 Jeep Cherokee vehicles from the 2026 model year, manufactured between December 4 and 27, 2025. The problem stems from a faulty brake system control module that could cause the ABS and ESC systems to fail without warning, potentially compromising vehicle stability.

Dealers will address this by updating the module's software. This campaign has been assigned the internal code 29D.

Jeep Wrangler 2026: Child Seat Anchor Issue

A second recall involves 32 Jeep Wrangler SUVs from the 2026 model year. These vehicles may have insufficient welds on the second-row child seat anchor, which does not meet FMVSS 225 requirements.

In a crash, this anchor could detach from the seat frame, increasing the risk of injury to a child. Dealers will replace the right second-row seatback. The internal code for this campaign is 27D.

Ram 1500-5500 2025-2026: Instrument Panel Failure

The largest recall affects 65,348 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups, along with Cab Chassis 3500/4500/5500 versions.

A software glitch may cause the 3.5-inch instrument panel cluster to either not power up at startup or shut off while driving. This leaves drivers without critical indicators like BRAKE, ESC, TPMS, and gear selector position.

This violates multiple FMVSS standards, including 108 and 208. The fix involves reprogramming the instrument panel cluster, under campaign code 35D. A list of affected panel serial numbers is included in the report appendix.

Why This Matters

All three recalls involve systems directly tied to safety: braking and stability control, child protection, and critical information display. Even without reported accidents, FCA is required to address these federal standard non-compliances.

For owners, this means a mandatory dealer visit in the second quarter of 2026. For the market, it's another reminder that software and production flaws remain key drivers of modern recall campaigns.
