Recall: 1M+ Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk (June 9, 2026)

[biodiesel]

Still not worrying…...It makes me wonder if this ‘condition’ is worse with age & mileage. I have a 2024 with 17k miles and doesn’t get driven but maybe 3x a week.

Our 2023 has 7,000 miles.

Wow…sounds like he should’ve never bought it in the first place. You don’t just go thru bankruptcy on a whim….. without having other underlying debt.

But then again…..I had a coworker who went thru bankruptcy twice.

Some people don't want to take responsibility for their actions. Think of all the people who were hoping the government would magically pay off their student loans.

Maybe @AllMoparParts.com knows.

Benny said he didn't know anything about the recall. But if you read the complaint, it mentions the connector. "FCA US confirmed a loose electrical connection will result in melting of the connection, which could ultimately lead to a vehicle fire." "The remedy is an inspection and repair or replacement of affected parts as necessary."

I"m parking mine next to the sailboat I can't get rid of. Hoping the truck will catch it on fire and I'll get the insurance money for both.

Both of my 21's (JTR and JLUR) have pumps on the list. I did notice that the JLUR's fender liner is a beast compared to the JT's. Heavier, longer, and doesn't want to flex at all. The JT's was like a sheet of paper and shorter. I felt around as best I could, didn't feel any loose connections, or what felt like melted plastic, so I'm not going to worry much about it until I get my letter(s) for the recall.

I don't think so but could be wrong. When digging around under there it seems the pigtail goes from the pump to the battery, both accessible from the wheel well.

I'm thinking passenger front wheel off, fender liner removed, and then it goes from there.

If, for some reason, it's a cab off then none of these trucks will ever be the same. Too many connectors, screws, etc. Stuff will get missed, broken, and then buttoned up just enough where "hopefully they don't notice".

Last time I had that fender and liner removed (yes, the tree did help a little in that). I looked at the pump and agree everything seems to be right there. It should come right out, couple hoses, connector and bracket bolts. Now the harness might cause issues. Like you said I would think worst case they have to remove the battery tray to get the wiring to the bottom side of the fuse box.

I'd delete this post as it proves "intent" for a claim. Seen it happen before, and with the way society is going....it will be more common.

Took a peak at my part # for my 2023. On the list. Built June of 23.

Good point, my bet is it's the connector or harness, that may require cab off to un-ravel it.

Based on the following quote from the recall info I posted earlier, it sounds like the connections at or inside the pump are primarily suspect here, not the wire harness. That said, we're in a holding pattern until the inspect/fix procedure comes out.

"Between April 2025 and May 2025, FCA US TSRC learned the EHPSP header was manufactured out of specified tolerances, resulting in insertion forces which exceed the specification. Increased insertion forces can lead to spread terminals and reduced likelihood the EHPSP electrical connector will be fully connected to the EHPSP header. Both of these conditions can lead to high resistance in the EHPSP electrical connection. Additionally, FCA US TSRC received notification of a terminal push out condition on the EHPSP electrical connector, which can result in high resistance."

If something is sitting there slowly cooking then I'd imagine I'd be able to smell it when parked in my closed up garage - which is where the Jeep lives in between weekends.

I'm not worrying about it....it does no good. If I made the list and get notified, I'll stand in line like everyone else and not have my Jeep for a month or so....

Is that still a thing? I’ve been out of the loop since 2015……but they’ve had frame rust issues FOREVER. My 2007 frame was replaced (photo of chassis after frame was replaced).

It's too early to tell on the newest Tacomas, but it was an issue on the Gen1 and Gen2 models. The rust is one of the reason Toyota went with a weaker c-channel chassis behind the cab instead of a fully boxed frame; it was an attempt to prevent water from collecting inside the frame rails.

...and it took them 10+ or more years before they acknowledge it. I think it was 2008 all that started -1995-2000 models. Then added newer years. Depending on the year..... Some folks traded the trucks in for cash, some got frame replacements, and others got slathered with underbody coatings.

I had a 96 Tacoma that I sold right before all this occurred. I don't think the new owner ever did anything (or knew anything about it).

It'll take them 10+ or more years before they'll know if any issues pop up again.

You'll have to delete your post too

Mine isn't in recall as the pump number isn't listed. Mine is an early build 2021 sport w/max tow.

How did you find the part # list?

I looked and couldn't find it.

Part of the problem was Toyota drinking their own kool-aid and thinking they could do nothing wrong; part of the NHTSA investigation included the corporate culture endemic to Toyota from the 1990s and onward. They found a corporate culture of not being the bearer of bad news, people knew about the rust issues but it never got taken to leadership; there was an idea that the person bringing the news was going to be held responsible for the problems they identified. That's why there were so many trucks affected for such a long period of time. It took the NHTSA threatening a nationwide stop-sale order on all Toyota brand vehicles before Toyota would even pick up the phone and talk to the NHTSA about vehicles breaking in half on the highway.
