EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2023 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The spare tire may obstruct the view of the center high-mount brake light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- A brake light that is obstructed may not be visible to other drivers to indicate the intention to slow or stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 28, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 84A.
- 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 16 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% 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 one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 9 times before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V544000. 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 341 complaints with NHTSA, 30 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V363000 (steering), 25V741000 (electrical system), 24V676000 (back over prevention), 24V652000 (electrical system).
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 August 10, 2023 as campaign 23V565000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
