2024 Jeep Wrangler Trailer Light Recall
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) has issued a recall for certain 2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The recall, identified as NHTSA ID 24V871000 and FCA's number B9B, addresses an incorrectly installed dash wiring harness that can cause trailer lights to be inoperative, increasing crash risk.
Why This Matters
The safety of your vehicle's lighting system is crucial, especially when towing. When trailer lights fail to illuminate, your vehicle's visibility to other drivers is significantly reduced. This can make it difficult for other motorists to anticipate your actions, such as braking or turning, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
What's Being Recalled
This 2024 Jeep Wrangler recall specifically targets vehicles equipped with an incorrect dash wiring harness. This manufacturing error prevents the trailer lighting from functioning correctly. As a result, these vehicles do not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, which governs "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Owners of 2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles should be aware of this potential issue. Chrysler mailed owner notification letters on December 19, 2024.

You can also check the NHTSA website using your vehicle's VIN to confirm if your specific vehicle is included in this 2024 Jeep Wrangler recall.
Manufacturer's Remedy
To address the issue, authorized Jeep dealers will inspect the dash wiring harness in affected vehicles. If the incorrect harness is identified, it will be replaced with the correct part. This repair will be performed free of charge to the owner. The manufacturer's recall number for this action is B9B.
