STEERING
- The defect
- Capacity of Texas (Capacity of Texas) is recalling certain 2023 TJ Series (5000, 6500, and 9000) vehicles. The steering gear assemblies may have been assembled incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than are required, which may result in a loss of steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the defective gears, free of charge. 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 865 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% 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, 2023, 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 3 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V219000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 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 23, 2024 as campaign 24V545000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
