Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
The Jeep Renegade has a short UK recall history, and its recalls tend to arrive several years after the cars were built, so older Renegades should be checked again. The largest, R/2019/152, corrected the occupant restraint controller, which runs the airbags, on 2,340 cars, and R/2017/056 fixed transaxle wiring that had been fitted incorrectly on the Renegade and Cherokee. Plug-in hybrid Renegades, sold as the 4xe, have had two recalls shared with the Compass: a pressure valve membrane in the high-voltage battery pack (R/2023/202) and a 12-volt cable connection (R/2024/288). Follow any charging or parking advice in those letters; see electric car recalls. A 2024 recall corrected tyre size data on conformity paperwork (R/2024/184). The Renegade shares its platform with the Fiat 500X, so the Fiat 500X recall page can be useful too. Any Jeep dealer can confirm by VIN.
