Jeep recalling 201,976 SUVs because TPMS may not warn of a low tire
Stellantis is recalling 201,976 Jeep vehicles because the tire-pressure monitoring system may not detect a low tire or light the dashboard warning. NHTSA lists the campaign as 26V559; Jeep’s code is 54D.
The defect sits in Radio Frequency Hub (RFH) software. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 138 requires a working TPMS warning. A tire that is silently underinflated is a blowout and loss-of-control risk, especially at highway speed in heat.
Owner letters were scheduled to go out in phases beginning September 29, 2026. The remedy is a free dealer reflash of the RFH module — not a new set of sensors in the typical case.
Until the software is updated
- Check tire pressure with a gauge. Do not wait for the dash light.
- Run your VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls and look for 26V559.
- Keep the repair order after the flash. If a later crash involves a tire, that document is the paper trail that the campaign was (or was not) performed.
