Jeep is recalling just over 1.0 million vehicles because they might catch fire. There is an issue with the electrical connection on the electric-hydraulic power steering pump (EHPSPS), and the automaker is advising owners to park outside until their vehicle is repaired.
The voluntary safety recall affects the 2021-2025 Wrangler and Gladiator. According to the recall report, the connection is susceptible to high resistance because the EHPSP header was manufactured with increased insertion force. This could have caused the terminals to spread, reducing the likelihood of a proper electrical connection.
