Among the problems specified by the government institution are welds with holes, welds with improper penetration, too much slag (coating on top of welds), and splash or bits of weld material splattered onto the metal. These problems, according to the NHTSA, are found in various parts of the SUV&rsquo;s frame assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The NHTSA, however, clarified that the investigation does not equate to a recall of the Jeep Wrangler SUVs for the said model years. No accidents or injuries relating to the car systems and setup in question have been reported.<\/p>\n<p>Following the launch of the investigation, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced that it will replace steering dampers of the vehicles affected by the steering issues at no cost to customers. The company also said the current problems are not related to the recall it issued in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2018, FCA announced a recall of more than 18,000 units of the Wrangler JL due to another welding problem that caused steering problems to drivers. Complaints on the &ldquo;misaligned weld&rdquo; came from about 152 owners of at least the 3,566 instances cited against 2018 and 2019 Wrangler models.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened investigations into the frame welds and steering problems of Jeep Wrangler SUVs&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/nhtsa-investigates-jeep-wrangler-due-to-frame-steering-issues\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[561],"ppma_author":[2607],"class_list":{"0":"post-5040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-jeep-wrangler","9":"entry"},"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NHTSA Investigates Jeep Wrangler Due to Frame, Steering Issues - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"NHTSA launches an investigation on Jeep Wrangler SUVs built in the latter half of 2018 to early 2019.
