Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer owners across the Greater Toronto Area should be aware of a new safety recall involving roof rack crossbars.
Chrysler (FCA US) has announced a recall involving certain 2022–2025 Jeep Wagoneer, 2022–2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 2023–2025 Jeep Wagoneer L and 2023–2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L vehicles.
The concern involves the pivot bolts that secure the roof rack crossbars. If the bolts were not tightened properly, the crossbar may loosen and potentially detach while the vehicle is being driven. A detached crossbar could become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. The U.S. campaign is identified as NHTSA 26V584 and Stellantis recall 81D, covering 97,349 vehicles.
For Jeep owners in Toronto, North York, Thornhill, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Mississauga, Bolton, Caledon, Orangeville and surrounding GTA communities, checking your VIN is the best way to determine whether your specific vehicle is affected.
What Is the Jeep Wagoneer Roof Rack Recall?
The issue is related to the roof rack crossbar pivot joints.
The pivot bolts may not have been tightened correctly during production. If the joint loosens, the crossbar can potentially separate from the vehicle.
This creates a safety concern because a crossbar that comes off while travelling can become an unexpected object on the road and potentially create a hazard for other drivers.
The recall remedy calls for dealers to replace the roof rack crossbar pivot bolts with redesigned hardware at no charge.
Which Jeep Models Are Included?
The recall covers certain vehicles from the following model years:
| Jeep Model | Model Years |
|---|---|
| Jeep Wagoneer | 2022–2025 |
| Jeep Grand Wagoneer | 2022–2026 |
| Jeep Wagoneer L | 2023–2025 |
| Jeep Grand Wagoneer L | 2023–2026 |
Not every vehicle within these model years will necessarily be affected. Recall eligibility is VIN-specific, so owners should check their individual vehicle rather than relying only on the model and year.
What Is the Risk?
The primary concern is the possibility of the roof rack crossbar detaching from the vehicle while driving.
A detached crossbar could fall onto the roadway or potentially come into contact with another vehicle. According to the recall information, this creates a road hazard and increases the risk of a crash.
This is particularly important for owners who regularly use their Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer for road trips, family travel, outdoor activities or transporting equipment on the roof.
Are There Warning Signs?
Owners may notice signs that something is not right with the roof rack before a crossbar completely detaches.
Potential warning signs include:
- Rattling or unusual noise from the roof
- A missing pivot bolt
- Visible separation around the crossbar joint
- Movement or looseness around the crossbar pivot area
If you notice an unusual noise or visible issue with your roof rack, don’t ignore it. Contact an authorized Jeep service department and have the vehicle inspected.
Is There a Repair?
Yes. The announced remedy is to replace the roof rack crossbar pivot bolts with a different design.
The repair is being provided free of charge for vehicles covered by the recall. However, owners should confirm that the remedy is available for their specific vehicle before scheduling an appointment.
Interim owner notification letters are expected to begin mailing around October 8, 2026, with a further notification once the final remedy is available.
How to Check If Your Jeep Is Affected
The most important step for owners is to check the vehicle’s 17-digit VIN.
For Jeep owners in Canada, the official Mopar Canada Recall Lookup allows you to enter your VIN and check whether your vehicle has an applicable recall or Customer Satisfaction Notice.
Your VIN can usually be found:
- At the bottom of the driver’s-side windshield
- On the driver’s-side door-frame label
- On your vehicle registration
- On insurance documentation
Check Your VIN Before Booking Service
Because recall campaigns are VIN-specific, two Wagoneer vehicles of the same model year may have different recall statuses.
Don’t assume your Jeep is affected — check the VIN.

Serving Jeep Owners Throughout the GTA
Whether you live in Toronto, North York, Thornhill, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Mississauga, Bolton, Caledon, Orangeville, Georgetown, Milton or another surrounding GTA community, it’s important to check your Jeep’s VIN if you own one of the affected models.
A recall doesn’t necessarily mean your individual vehicle is included. Your VIN provides the most accurate answer.
If your Jeep has an open recall, an authorized dealership can help determine the next steps and arrange the applicable recall repair when the remedy is available.
What Should Jeep Owners Do?
If you own a Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer L or Grand Wagoneer L that falls within the model years listed above:
1. Find your VIN.
Locate your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN.
2. Check the official Mopar Canada recall database.
Use the VIN lookup to see whether your Jeep has an open recall.
3. Inspect the roof rack.
Look for unusual movement, missing hardware or rattling noises around the crossbars.
4. Contact a CarHub service department.
If your VIN shows an applicable recall, contact the CarHub location most convenient for you to discuss service arrangements.
5. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Recall information and repair availability can change, so confirm the latest information with the dealership or Mopar.
What About Mopar Roof Rack Accessories?
There is also a separate campaign involving certain Mopar roof rack kits. This is important for owners who installed roof crossbars as an accessory rather than having them included with the vehicle.
If you purchased or installed Mopar roof rack equipment separately, provide the dealership with your vehicle information and accessory details so the appropriate campaign can be checked.
A VIN check should still be performed, but owners with separately purchased roof-rack equipment should mention the accessory when speaking with the service department.
Check Your Jeep Before Your Next Road Trip
For many GTA families, a Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer is used for long-distance travel, weekend trips, sporting activities and family vacations.
That’s why paying attention to roof-rack hardware is especially important.
If you hear rattling from the roof, notice a missing bolt, or see anything unusual around the crossbar joints, have the vehicle inspected.
And even if everything looks normal, checking your VIN is still the best way to determine whether your Jeep is included in the recall.
