Chrysler is recalling 201,976 Jeep SUVs after discovering a software flaw that can prevent the tire-pressure warning light from illuminating when a tire loses air. The recall covers several Jeep models, and owner notification letters are scheduled to begin arriving September 29.

The campaign is filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under campaign number 26V559000. Dealers will reflash the tire-pressure monitoring system control module with updated software at no cost to owners.

What the Jeep TPMS recall affects

The affected vehicles include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Cherokee. The source filing covers vehicles built across a range of recent model years and does not identify a specific trim as more vulnerable than others.

The issue involves the tire-pressure monitoring system, or TPMS. The system measures tire pressure and activates a dashboard warning when pressure falls below the required threshold. In affected vehicles, the control module may fail to register a genuine low-pressure event, allowing the warning light to remain off.

That creates a safety concern because drivers may not receive the alert they rely on to identify a tire that is losing air. Federal rules require every new vehicle sold in the United States to have a functioning TPMS.

Free software fix at Jeep dealers

Chrysler says dealers will resolve the issue by updating the TPMS control module software. No new hardware or tire-pressure sensors are required, and the repair typically takes under an hour. Owners will not be charged for the recall work.

Owners can check whether their vehicle is included by searching its vehicle identification number in NHTSA's recall database. That option is available before the notification letters begin mailing on September 29.

Why software recalls are growing

This campaign is another example of a safety-system recall caused by software rather than a mechanical component. Modern Jeep SUVs rely on electronic control modules for functions that once used simpler hardware, making software performance an increasingly important part of vehicle safety.

Stellantis has faced other large recall campaigns in 2026, including one affecting 850,000 vehicles for a separate issue. A different campaign involving 328,000 vehicles also centered on electronic software. Those figures are not part of the current Jeep TPMS recall, but they show how broadly software-related defects can affect vehicle lineups.

Jeep owners with an affected vehicle should schedule the free update after confirming their VIN. Until the software is corrected, the TPMS warning may not provide the expected alert during a low-pressure event.
