VEHICLE SAFETY RECALL — TRANSPORTATION & CONSUMER SAFETY

Own a recent Jeep? Check the VIN—the tire-pressure warning may fail.

A federal recall covers certain 2024–2026 Jeep models whose tire-pressure system may miss low pressure, fail to turn on the warning light, or both. The VIN search is available now, and dealers will install the software fix for free.

These are the model-year groups named by NHTSA

• 2024–2025 Jeep Wagoneer.
• 2024–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L and Grand Cherokee 4xe.
• 2024–2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
• 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L.
• 2025–2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L.
• 2026 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer L PHEV.

The word certain matters. A matching model and year do not prove that a vehicle is included; the VIN is the useful check. NHTSA says the campaign's VINs became searchable September 9.

What the software error can do

NHTSA says the tire-pressure monitoring system may fail to detect low tire pressure, illuminate the dashboard warning light, or both. That means the absence of a warning is not proof that the tires are correctly inflated.

The agency says a warning that fails to alert the driver to low pressure increases crash risk. It also says the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 138, which covers tire-pressure monitoring systems.

The repair is free, but it is not listed as over-the-air

The official campaign record says dealers will update the radio-frequency hub software for free. NHTSA marks the remedy as not an over-the-air update, so an owner with an open recall should contact an authorized dealer rather than wait for the vehicle to update itself.

Owner-notification letters are expected to begin September 29. You do not need to wait for a letter if the VIN already shows the open campaign. Appointment timing is dealer-specific, so confirm availability before traveling.

This is not a stop-drive notice

NHTSA's campaign record does not tell owners to stop driving or park outside. Until the repair is completed, follow the vehicle maker's tire-pressure instructions and do not rely on the warning light alone to establish that pressure is correct. If you are unsure how to check safely, ask the dealer or a qualified tire professional.

What is—and is not—confirmed locally

The recall applies nationally, so Rockland residents with one of the named model-year groups have a concrete reason to check. The Rockland Edit has not confirmed a local vehicle, owner, dealer appointment, crash or injury tied to this defect.

A secondary report gives a national vehicle count, but that figure is not included here because the campaign population document was not available in the primary record reviewed for this guide. The owner action does not depend on the headline count: check the VIN.

The simple move is a VIN check. If campaign 26V559 or FCA recall 54D appears as unrepaired, contact an authorized dealer for the free software update—and keep checking tire pressure by the vehicle maker's instructions rather than trusting the missing warning.
