Known issues for this generation

Owner complaints for early JL years concentrate on steering. Safety recall 18V-343 (Chrysler U48) covers certain 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles whose intermediate steering shaft may not have been properly welded, so a split at the external spline can cause loss of steering-wheel center positioning and reduced steering responsiveness; dealers inspect and replace the shaft as needed.
