Now, most cars have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that automatically alerts you if a tire starts going flat.But for thousands of Jeep owners, that safety net has a hole. Jeep is recalling nearly 202,000 SUVs in the US because a software glitch can keep the TPMS from telling you when your tires are running low.JeepThe Affected ModelsThe recall covers multiple Jeep nameplates, with the 2024-2026 Grand Cherokee accounting for the largest share at 113,647 vehicles. The 2024-2026 Grand Cherokee L follows with 57,456 units, while the 2024-2025 Wagoneer adds another 16,456 vehicles. Other affected models include the Wagoneer L, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L, Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid, and even a small number of 2026 Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer L PHEV models.AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to the safety recall report, the tire sensors aren't the main issue; it's the Radio Frequency Hub (RFH) software. It can forget or skip updating the pressure values the TPMS relies on, so your dashboard might stay silent even if your tire is running on fumes.Jeep started digging into the problem last year, after some engineering tests raised red flags about safety standards. After combing through data with their supplier, they found several software gremlins and ended up widening the recall to rope in more 2026 models.Of note, every single vehicle in the recall could have the glitch. If your TPMS goes on strike, you might see a 'Service Tire Pressure System' message, a warning light, or just blank tire readings on your dash.JeepThe Fix Is a Simple UpdateThe good news is that this isn't a hardware replacement. Jeep dealers will reprogram the Radio Frequency Hub with updated software free of charge, restoring the TPMS's ability to detect and report low tire pressure correctly.AdvertisementAdvertisementDealers get the heads-up starting September 9, 2026, and owners will start seeing notifications between September 29 and October 21. Once the recall is live, you can check your VIN online.If you own a 2024-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, or Grand Wagoneer, it's worth checking your VIN once it's available and booking the software update with your local dealership if your SUV is included.StellantisThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 21, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
