Overview
If you’re shopping for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler — new or used — the NHTSA database is one of the most useful free tools available. It tracks manufacturer recall campaigns, owner-submitted complaints, and government crash-test ratings. Below is a plain-English breakdown of what the data actually shows for this model year. All facts are drawn exclusively from NHTSA (nhtsa.gov), retrieved July 13, 2026.
What NHTSA Data Is — and What It Isn’t
NHTSA collects three types of data: recall campaigns (issued by manufacturers under federal oversight), owner complaints (self-reported by drivers and not independently verified), and crash-test safety ratings from its New Car Assessment Program. Because complaints are voluntary and self-reported, they don’t represent every owner who experienced a problem — only those who took the time to file. Complaint counts also rise naturally with sales volume, so a high-selling vehicle will almost always accumulate more complaints than a rare one. Use the data as a directional signal, not a precise scorecard.
Recall Campaigns
Ten recall campaigns have been issued covering 2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. That is a notably long list for a single model year and spans a wide range of systems — from safety-critical airbag components to lighting compliance issues. Every remedy listed below is free of charge through an authorized dealer.
| Campaign | Date | Component | Issue | Remedy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24V111000 | Feb 15, 2024 | Windshield Defroster / HVAC System | HCP software error may make the defrosting and defogging system inoperative, violating FMVSS 103. | Dealers update the HCP software at no charge. |
| 24V199000 | Mar 14, 2024 | Driver Airbag Clockspring / Spiral Cassette | Steering column control module issue affecting frontal airbag system. | Dealers inspect and replace the steering column control module as necessary, at no charge. |
| 24V414000 | Jun 6, 2024 | Tail Lights | Power distribution center may prevent trailer turn signals and taillights from operating, violating FMVSS 108. | Dealers replace the power distribution center at no charge. |
| 24V585000 | Aug 8, 2024 | Tail Lights | Incorrect tail lights installed may be obstructed by the spare tire, violating FMVSS 108. | Dealers replace the tail lights at no charge. |

| 24V871000 | Nov 19, 2024 | Electrical System Wiring | Incorrect dash wiring harness installed, resulting in inoperative trailer lighting, violating FMVSS 108. | Dealers inspect and replace the dash wiring harness as necessary, at no charge. |
| 25V527000 | Aug 14, 2025 | Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) | Pinched remote start antenna cable may prevent the TPMS warning light from illuminating, violating FMVSS 138. | Dealers inspect and replace the remote start antenna cable as necessary, at no charge. |
| 25V741000 | Oct 30, 2025 | High Voltage Traction Battery (4xe) | High voltage battery may fail internally and cause a vehicle fire while parked or driving. Affects Wrangler 4xe only. | Owners advised to park outside away from structures and not charge until repaired. Dealers update battery software and replace battery as necessary, at no charge. |
| 26V327000 | May 21, 2026 | Rearview Camera | Contamination or improper programming in the central vision processing module may prevent the rearview camera from displaying an image, violating FMVSS 111. | Dealers update or replace the central vision processing module at no charge. |
What the Recall List Tells You
Ten recalls across a single model year is a high count by any measure. Several themes stand out. Lighting compliance issues appear in four separate campaigns (24V414000, 24V585000, 24V676000, 24V871000), suggesting quality-control problems in electrical assembly at the factory. The rearview camera has been recalled twice (24V676000 and 26V327000). If you are buying a used 2024 Wrangler, confirm with the dealer or via the NHTSA VIN lookup tool that all ten campaigns have been completed on the specific vehicle. The 4xe plug-in hybrid variant carries an especially serious open recall (25V741000) for a high-voltage battery fire risk — if you own or are considering a 4xe, this should be resolved before driving or charging.
Owner Complaints
The NHTSA data retrieved for this report contained no owner complaint records for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. This does not necessarily mean no complaints exist — it may reflect how the data was queried or a lag in the public database. Prospective buyers should check the complaints section directly at nhtsa.gov using the 2024 Wrangler’s model year for the most current picture.
Crash-Test Safety Ratings
No NHTSA crash-test safety ratings are available in the data for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. This is consistent with the Wrangler’s historical pattern — its body-on-frame, open-top design makes it difficult to compare directly against enclosed passenger cars in standardized crash tests, and NHTSA has not issued an overall star rating for this model.
Bottom Line for Buyers
- Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup at nhtsa.gov before purchasing any used 2024 Wrangler to confirm all ten recalls are closed.
- If considering the 4xe hybrid, treat recall 25V741000 (battery fire risk) as a hard stop — do not charge the vehicle until a dealer has completed the repair.
- The concentration of lighting and wiring recalls points to electrical assembly as a weak point; have a pre-purchase inspection include a check of all exterior lights, trailer connections, and instrument cluster function.
- No crash-test rating data is available, so safety comparisons with rated vehicles cannot be made from this dataset.
