What This Recall Means

Component

EQUIPMENT

What Happened

The cockpit cover on your Bestop aftermarket roof rack might not stay latched properly because of a faulty latch bracket. This bracket is part of the roof rack system designed for your Jeep Wrangler, made between April 27 and May 20, 2004.

Risk if Unfixed

If the cockpit cover detaches from the roof rack, it could fly off and hit someone outside the vehicle, causing injury. Alternatively, it could become a distraction or obstacle for other drivers, potentially leading to a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will provide a repair kit and installation instructions to fix the latch bracket, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the notification, and contact Bestop's customer service if you have any questions or concerns.
