Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator: Seat belt pre-tensioner fault

29/03/2023

Jeep is recalling 2,185 Gladiators (pictured) and Wranglers produced in 2021 worldwide. The recall is due to a defectively welded micro gas generator in the seat belt pre-tensioner. This can lead to reduced protection in the event of an accident.

The seatbelt pre-tensioners of the front seats are replaced in the workshop. The KBA monitors the recall with the reference number “012504“, and the internal code is Z95.
