Safety Recall U27 / NHTSA 18V-231 Under Body Ladder Rail – 2018 Jeep Wrangler

oemdtc April 24, 2018 No Comments

April 12, 2018 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V231000

Left Rear Frame Section may Corrode

If the floor pan strength is reduced and/or the rear seat mount becomes loose, the rear seat may detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V231

Manufacturer Chrysler (FCA US LLC)

Components STRUCTURE, SEATS

Potential Number of Units Affected 106

 

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The rear under body ladder rail may corrode, possibly reducing the strength of the rear floor pan and causing the left rear seat mount to become loose.

 

Remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, coat the interior and exterior of the driver’s side rear underbody ladder rail with three-part rust protection. The recall began September 11, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s number for this recall is U27.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

 

Check if your Vehicle has a Recall


Revised October 2018

Dealer Service Instructions for:

Safety Recall U27 / NHTSA 18V-231
Under Body Ladder Rail


NOTE: Section A.  Date Code Inspection revised.

 

Remedy Available

2018 (JK) Jeep Wrangler

 

NOTE:  This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with four doors and built from October 15, 2017 through October 16, 2017 (MDH 101500 through 101617).

IMPORTANT:  Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory.  Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery.  Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service.  Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

 

 

Subject

The driver’s side rear under body ladder rail on about 100 of the above vehicles may have been built with reduced corrosion protection which may, in certain circumstances, eventually result in a loose left rear seat mount or reduced strength of the rear floor pan due to premature corrosion.  A loose left rear seat mount or reduced strength of the rear floor pan due to corrosion could, during a vehicle crash, allow two of the six attachment fasteners for the left rear seat to not be retained to the floor pan and/or the left rear floor pan structural frame member to buckle, which may increase the risk of injury.

 

Repair

Inspect the left side (driver’s side) rear longitudinal under body ladder rail date code marking.  If repair is needed, the interior and exterior of the left side rear under body ladder rail will be coated with three-part rust protection, or if deemed unrepairable, the vehicle will be repurchased.

POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating- Semi-Gloss Black - 1 Gl - Stop Rust & Corrosion Permanently, Anti-Rust Non-Porous Protective Barrier
  • ✅ WHY CHOOSE POR-15 RUST PREVENTIVE COATING – POR-15 is the gold standard in high performance coatings. Trusted by DIY and professionals to stop rust permanently by forming an impenetrable barrier that protects a variety of surfaces from water, chemicals, salt, corrosive contaminants and everyday wear and tear. No other paint, coating, or even powder coat can match POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating when applied using the 3-Step Stop Rust System.
  • ✅ CURED BY MOISTURE – The secret strength lies in the curing process. Unlike most paints that dry through evaporation, POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating dries faster when moisture is present. It has the opposite chemistry of ordinary paints. Once cured, the coating forms an indestructible, hammer tough finish.
  • ✅ APPLICATION - Remove grease, oil, and other foreign substances using POR-15 water-based Cleaner Degreaser followed with POR-15 Metal Prep to etch the surface and neutralize rust. Stir POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating thoroughly, DO NOT SHAKE. Always apply thin coats, minimum of two. May be recoated or top coated when dry to the touch, typically 2 to 5 hours. Topcoat when surface will have exposure to UV light.
  • ✅ WHEN DO I NEED THIS – Automotive, Farm, industrial, commercial marine, and construction industries all use POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating to protect valuable equipment against rust, abrasion, & corrosion. Our coating has excellent surface tolerance on porous surfaces, such as wood, fiberglass, concrete, bricks, and more!
