2024-2026 Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator Suspect Glove Box Parts

What is This Communication About?

Mopar has issued Quality Inspection Request (QIR) 110405, an internal manufacturer communication, to address specific glove box and instrument panel components. This QIR is not a recall for vehicle owners but rather a directive for dealerships to manage their parts inventory. The communication targets certain parts for 2024-2026 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator models, identifying them as suspect and requiring their return to ensure that only compliant components are used for service and new vehicle assembly. Quality Inspection Requests are a standard practice in the automotive industry for proactive quality assurance. This QIR is a critical step in maintaining quality control for these vehicles, ensuring that only parts meeting Mopar's highest standards are installed.

Affected Part Numbers and Identification

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler manufacturer_communication specifically identifies two part numbers as suspect: 7FV20TX7AA and 7FV19TX7AA. These part numbers correspond to the glove box and instrument panel components. Parts are deemed suspect if they were manufactured before November 22, 2025. To identify these components, technicians and parts personnel must locate the built date code printed on the part. The communication includes an illustrative image showing a label with a QR code and text. The built date code is clearly marked, for instance, "10/15/2025" in MM/DD/YYYY format. Dealers must visually inspect these labels on their stock to determine if the manufacturing date precedes the cutoff of November 22, 2025. Any part with a date prior to this, such as the example "10/15/2025", is considered suspect and must be processed for return.

Instructions for Dealerships

To comply with Mopar Quality Inspection Request 110405, dealerships must undertake several critical actions. First, an immediate audit of all existing inventory for part numbers 7FV20TX7AA and 7FV19TX7AA is required. This includes parts currently in stock at the dealership and any components that are in transit. Second, any parts identified as suspect—those manufactured before November 22, 2025—must be prepared for return. These parts are to be sent back to the designated facing depot using Return Code 02. The absolute deadline for these returns is March 23, 2026. Furthermore, dealerships are instructed to return any open orders for these suspect parts that are still in process. To maintain an adequate supply of compliant parts for service and new vehicle production, new orders for replacement components should be placed. Any specific questions or clarifications regarding this return procedure should be directed to [email protected].

Important Warnings for Owners

It is important for owners to understand that Mopar is NOT notifying consumers directly about this Quality Inspection Request 110405. This communication is an internal directive aimed solely at dealerships for inventory management and quality control. Owners of 2024-2026 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles will not receive a letter or any direct communication regarding these suspect glove box and instrument panel parts. This means owners should not expect a recall notice or specific instructions to bring their vehicle in for inspection related to this particular issue. The responsibility for identifying and returning suspect parts lies entirely with the dealership network to ensure that only compliant components are used in future repairs or new vehicle assemblies.

What Owners Should Know

While this Quality Inspection Request 110405 is an internal Mopar directive for dealerships, it ultimately benefits owners by ensuring the quality of components used in their vehicles. This proactive measure helps prevent potential issues with glove box and instrument panel parts by removing any suspect inventory from the supply chain. If you own a 2024-2026 Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator and have any concerns about the glove box or instrument panel in your vehicle, or if you are planning a service appointment, you may discuss this quality initiative with your local authorized Jeep dealership. They can confirm that any parts used for service are compliant with Mopar's latest quality standards.
