  • Jeep is recalling nearly 100,000 SUVs in the U.S. and 6,500 in Canada
  • The vehicles’ roof racks may not be sufficiently bolted down, and could detach
  • The repair includes the roof-crossbar pivot joints being replaced

Stellantis is recalling 97,349 Jeep SUV models in the U.S., and another 6,537 in Canada, because the roof rack may detach from the vehicle — and that’s not something you want happening, particularly not on a vehicle that costs some six figures. The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, along with their long-wheelbase L counterparts, are being recalled, as are another 3,038 Mopar accessory roof-rack kits that are also affected by the same issue.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the following vehicles are being recalled:

At the time of writing, there is no information related to this recall on Transport Canada, but a Stellantis Canada representative confirmed 6,537 vehicles are affected north of the border.

The issue involves the pivot bolts that secure the roof crossbars; those bolts may not be tightened sufficiently. The report confirms that 100% of the vehicles recalled are affected. While that doesn’t mean all those vehicles will have roof racks flying off, it does mean that they were built with the ‘faulty’ pivot bolts that will all be replaced. Additionally, there’s another recall for 3,038 Mopar rack kits that have the same issue of a potential pivot-joint failure.

Owners will be notified by mail and advised to take their vehicle to a dealership to have the roof-crossbar pivot joints replaced with newly designed ones, free of charge. If owners hear a rattling noise before that time, or notice the crossbar is missing a bolt, drive cautiously, as the detaching roof rack could pose a hazard to other road users. That said, the recall report notes that no related injuries have been reported.
