SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2020 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The left side lower control arm bracket and weld may not be correctly positioned.
- What it can cause
- The improper weld may allow the lower control arm to separate from the axle which can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front axles, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 27, 2020. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W01.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 3,005 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 9 times before this, most recently in May 2018 as 18V279000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 605 complaints with NHTSA, 23 of them before this campaign was filed. 50 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V741000 (electrical system), 24V676000 (back over prevention), 24V652000 (electrical system), 23V191000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US LLC) with NHTSA on January 24, 2020 as campaign 20V042000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
