Is the 2022 Jeep Wrangler recalled in the UK or Europe?
Recalls issued by the UK's DVSA and through the EU's Safety Gate system that cover this model and build period. European models can differ from U.S. ones, and "years estimated" means the recall gave no build dates, so confirm your own car with your registration or VIN.
UK DVSA2018-2022 Jeep Wrangler Check Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp Incorrect operation and warning2022 Jeep Wrangler Check Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp Incorrect operation and warning
Risk: On affected vehicles the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may not function as intended in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). This condition will not affect emissions.

My jeep started wobbling on the highway.
Today is 10/19/2026. I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe Rubicon that has completed all of its safety recalls and recall notices. Each recall notice has been completed and each was marked as having no issues found. After completion of recall notice 68C (NHTSA 25V-741), we began to experience a complete change in how the car operates based on the vehicle mode selected on the 3 button panel (Hybrid, Electric, E-Save). We are now experiencing a consistent inappropriate kicking in of the gasoline engine when selecting and driving in the "Electric" only mode. Our normal driving of this car has occurred…
My Jeep Wrangler recently developed a noticeable steering shimmy/shaking at highway speeds. I hit a bump in the road and almost caused a loss of control. Three Rivers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (Pittsburgh, PA) documented the concern as “steering shimmy highway speeds” and diagnosed the steering damper as the problem and repaired the problem.
The check engine light was on and it said to service the battery charging components. When driving in hybrid mode it doesn’t switch to use the battery. When I was trying to pull off after stopping, the jeep hesitated and would not move and then all of a sudden jerked and took off almost making me crash and people crash into me.
i PURCHASED MY 2022 JEEP RUBICON 4XE USED ON MARCH 31, 2026. IN APRIL, I HAD A RECALL NOTICE FOR RECALL 68C. I TOOK IT TO MY JEEP DEALER AND HAD THE RECALL DONE. IMMEDATELY, I NOTICED THAT MY ACCELERATION IN ELECTRIC MODE & HYBRID MODE IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE. ATTEMPTING TO MERGE OR PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER ACCELERATES LIKE IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL 68C WAS DONE. IT FELLS LIKE I AM DRIVING WIHT MY EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL, HOWEVER IT IS VERY DIFFERENT. I…
I’ve had an ongoing issue with my car since earlier this year, 2026, and the code says “electric coolant heater” and i have a solid check engine light. they replaced the coolant heater a few months ago and now it’s doing the same thing again. There’s also another recall for the power steering and i’ve recently started to notice that when i start my car (which i normally will sit there for a few minutes before i drive to let everything “wake up”) there is a delay in the steering ability. my steering wheel will remain stiff unless i jerk the wheel to “wake it up” in a sense. this just started…
I own a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe. My vehicle underwent Recall 68C and related high-voltage battery evaluation/software work. The high-voltage battery was later replaced by Jeep under warranty. Immediately after that battery replacement, I noticed a significant change in the vehicle’s propulsion behavior that I had not experienced before. Prior to the replacement, when Electric mode was selected and sufficient battery charge was available, the vehicle normally remained on electric propulsion. Since the warranty battery replacement, the gasoline engine can engage unexpectedly even though…
I would like to report a safety concern with my 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe that began after Recall 68C was performed in January 2026. Prior to this recall, my Jeep did not exhibit the behavior I am now experiencing. Since the recall was completed, the vehicle has repeatedly showed unpredictable transitions between the electric motor and gasoline engine, delayed acceleration, loss of expected power, and unusually high engine RPM immediately upon the gasoline engine starting. When driving in electric mode the gasoline engine will sometimes start unexpectedly without what appears to be any normal…
While driving my Jeep 4xe, the vehicle suddenly loses motive power without warning. The vehicle emits a chime, the "D" gear indicator flashes on the shifter and instrument cluster, the check engine light illuminates, and a message displays instructing me to shift the vehicle into Park. At that point, the vehicle will no longer accelerate, forcing me to coast and maneuver across traffic lanes to reach a safe location. This failure has occurred multiple times, including at highway speeds, creating an immediate safety hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. During several incidents, I narrowly…
Ever since the 68c recall I have had a multitude of safety related issues with my vehicle. It appears that in order to protect themselves from a known faulty hybrid battery pack Jeep has reprogramed the vehicle to reduce power. While driving in electric or hybrid mode the vehicle will suddenly lose power creating an unexpected power delivery (ie. one minute you have plenty of power to pass a slower vehicle for example then all of a sudden, you lose that power mid pass). Once power loss occurs the vehicle will start acting extremely erratic with the gas engine kicking on and off and revving…
At highway speed, vehicle repeatedly started shaking and vibrating violently after hitting any bump or uneven portion of the roadway. Steering became extremely difficult to control and was completely useless for a period of time. A vehicle that loses the ability to steer at highway speeds puts everyone at risk of accident/death. In looking online, this has been experienced by many people and is referred to as the "death wobble". There were no warnings that this was going to occur. Vehicle has been brought to the dealership. It appears unlikely that the dealership and/or manufacturer is going…
On 7/25/2026, the vehicle set DTC P1128 (Closed Loop Fueling Not Achieved, Bank 1) with a steady check engine light and no drivability symptoms. I cleared the code with an OBD2 scanner. My wife had driven the vehicle to a local store and back earlier with no issues. Shortly afterward, with the vehicle loaded for a trip, she applied the brakes at the end of our driveway and the vehicle did not come to a complete stop. She described the pedal response as delayed. She proceeded onto our residential street at low speed and applied the brakes again. The brakes did not function properly. The pedal…
