EXTERIOR LIGHTING Safety Recalls

Critical #26V059000 Plain English
Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The trailer tow module in your vehicle is a critical part that helps ensure your trailer lights and brakes work properly. In some 2024-2026 Jeep Wagoneer S, and 2025-2026 Ram and Jeep models, this module might not have been designed correctly, which could cause issues.
Risk if Unfixed
If your trailer lights and brakes fail to work, other drivers can't see your signals and your trailer's brakes won't engage. This increases the risk of a crash, which could put you and others in harm's way.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty trailer tow module with a new one at no cost to you. To confirm repair availability and schedule the repair, contact your dealer now. Letters were scheduled to be mailed on March 17, 2026, so check with your dealer for the status of your repair.
