Subject: Urgent Request for Recall and Remedy of ABS Module Failures in Jeep Wrangler JK Models (2011–2018)

From:
Owners and Drivers of Jeep Wrangler JK Vehicles across the United States

 
Dear Stellantis Executive Leadership,

We, the undersigned owners of Jeep Wrangler JK models, are writing to formally and collectively express our growing alarm and frustration regarding the widespread failure and unavailability of the ABS control module (commonly referenced as Mopar part number 68259556XX) used in 2011–2018 Wrangler JKs. This component is a critical element of our vehicles' anti-lock braking, traction control, and electronic stability control systems—features required for safe operation and federally mandated since 2012.

For over two years now, owners have documented sudden ABS module failures that result in:

• Complete loss of ABS and ESC functionality
• “Limp mode” behavior, dramatically reducing drivability
• Illumination of multiple brake system warning lights
• Vehicles becoming inoperable or unsafe to drive
• Failure to pass state safety inspections (in states like NY and PA)

This safety-critical component has been placed on indefinite backorder, and in many cases completely discontinued, leaving no viable path for repair or replacement. Some dealerships have confirmed that new replacement modules issued in 2023–2024 were defective or failed to program properly, and were later placed on engineering hold by Jeep corporate. In the meantime, affected owners have been forced to seek out unreliable salvaged units or third-party rebuilders at their own cost and risk.

Despite the clear danger posed by these failures, Stellantis has not issued a formal recall, technical service bulletin, or warranty extension for Wrangler JK owners. This inaction stands in stark contrast to:

• The recall of over 200,000 Grand Cherokees and Durangos (Recall ID 94B) for ABS/ESC failures in 2024
• The recall of over 300,000 Ram 2500/3500 trucks for similar brake module issues in 2025

The parallels are undeniable. Jeep Wrangler JK owners are experiencing the same dangerous loss of safety systems, yet have been left without acknowledgment, recourse, or remedy. This inconsistency is unacceptable.

We, the undersigned, demand that Stellantis take immediate and decisive action by:

1. Issuing a safety recall to classify the failed ABS module as a federally reportable defect
   Reproducing or replacing the discontinued ABS modules with functional and programmable replacements
2. Reimbursing owners who paid out-of-pocket for repairs or rebuilds
3. Providing loaner vehicles or rental reimbursement to those whose Jeeps are unsafe or undriveable
4. Communicating transparently with the public about the timeline and scope of corrective actions

Failing this, we are prepared to escalate this issue by:

1. Filing formal complaints with NHTSA
2. Seeking class action legal remedies
3. Petitioning for state-level investigations in jurisdictions with strict inspection laws
4. Mobilizing social and traditional media to raise awareness of Stellantis' inaction

We respectfully request a written response from Stellantis within 30 days of receipt of this petition outlining your intent to investigate or remedy the matter. As loyal Jeep owners who have invested in the safety, reliability, and spirit of the Wrangler brand, we simply ask for the same level of accountability and customer care that you’ve extended to owners of your other vehicles facing similar safety defects.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned Jeep Wrangler JK Owners
