The Consumer Protection Authority, in cooperation with Mohsin Haider Darwish Vehicles LLC, has announced the launch of a recall campaign covering (1180) vehicles of Jeep Wrangler (JL) and Jeep Gladiator (JT), effective from 8 April 2026.
The campaign includes the recall of (1123) vehicles of Jeep Wrangler (JL) model years 2018–2022, in addition to (57) vehicles of Jeep Gladiator (JT) model years 2020–2022. This recall is due to a potential defect in the Check Engine Indicator (CEL/MIL), where the indicator may be inoperative or fail to illuminate, which may prevent alerting the driver in the event of an emissions-related issue requiring activation of the indicator.
The technical bulletin further clarifies that in some Gladiator (JT) vehicles, a switching may occur between the function of the Check Engine Indicator and the cargo bed light indicator, while in certain Wrangler (JL) vehicles, the indicator may not illuminate at all. This may render the vehicle non-compliant with the requirements of the On-Board Diagnostics System OBD II. The bulletin also indicates that the defect is associated with approximately 86,794 vehicles within the scope of the referenced technical campaign.
The corrective action consists of inspecting the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) functions and updating its software to the latest available version. Vehicle owners affected by this recall are urged to contact the authorized dealer to complete the inspection and necessary repairs. For inquiries, please contact 80022008. The Authority also calls upon consumers to follow its official channels and report any observations related to the recall.
