More than 5,600 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles are being recalled in the UAE after a power-steering electrical defect raised the risk of steering-assistance loss and fire. Trading Enterprises is contacting owners of 5,612 vehicles from the 2021–2025 model years and will inspect and repair affected vehicles free of charge, according to UAE Vartha.
UAE Jeep Wrangler recall: what owners need to know
The fault is linked to the electrical connector supplying the electro-hydraulic power steering pump. High resistance at the connection can create heat, melt the connector and, in severe cases, ignite nearby combustible material. Drivers may see a “Service Power Steering” warning and may suddenly need much more effort to turn the wheel, especially at low speed.
The recall covers 2021–2025 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and Gladiator pick-ups. The UAE campaign follows a wider Stellantis recall: NHTSA says 1,076,999 vehicles are covered in the United States, with 51 fires and one injury likely linked to the issue. TFLcar’s report says owners were advised to park affected vehicles outside and away from buildings or other vehicles until repaired.
How UAE owners can check the recall
Trading Enterprises is coordinating inspections through authorised service workshops. Technicians will inspect the relevant wiring and steering components, replacing the power-steering pump assembly or associated electrical hardware where needed. The inspection, parts and labour are free under the campaign.
Owners should check their vehicle identification number with Trading Enterprises before booking service. The UAE Jeep Wrangler recall applies to the vehicles listed by the distributor, so a VIN check is the quickest way to confirm whether a particular Jeep is included. If the vehicle displays a power-steering warning, loses steering assistance or shows signs of overheating, stop driving when safe and contact the distributor for instructions. Until the VIN is checked and any required repair is completed, owners should park affected vehicles outside and away from buildings.
