STEERING
- The defect
- Capacity of Texas (Capacity of Texas) is recalling certain 2021-2022 TJ 5000, 6500, and 9000 vehicles. The steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gears to fracture.
- What it can cause
- A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Capacity of Texas customer service at 1-800-323-0135.
- 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.nhtsa.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 58 vehicles this is a small campaign: 76% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Capacity vehicles have been recalled over the steering once before this, most recently in February 2005 as 05V038000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V315000 (seats), 23V219000 (steering).
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 Capacity of Texas with NHTSA on July 26, 2022 as campaign 22V537000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
