JAKARTA - The parent company of a number of global automotive manufacturers Stellantis announced the immediate recall of 123,396 vehicles in the United States.
This withdrawal includes the Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer models from 2022 to 2024 due to fatal problems, namely trim cuts in the driver's window and passengers potentially being released when the car is traveling, creating danger on the highway, and increasing the risk of accidents.
According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Saturday, September 27, reported by Reuters, a quarter of the trim on the driver's window and passengers were allegedly not installed safely. This condition allows the trim cut to be detached from the car.
NHTSA has explicitly warned that road-separate trim material could be a danger to other vehicles, potentially triggering a collision incident.

Stellantis, through its report to NHTSA, stated that currently the correcting solution to the problem is still in the development stage. The affected vehicle owners will be contacted by the company for further repair measures.
This latest withdrawal adds to Stellantis' long list of trim problems this month. Earlier, in early September, NHTSA also announced the withdrawal of 164,000 US vehicles belonging to Stellantis due to similar problems, namely the potential for a trim to the driver's door and passengers.
