Jeep Wagoneer recall campaign 26V584000 covers 97,349 SUVs because roof-rack crossbar pivot bolts may not have been tightened correctly. A crossbar could detach and become a road hazard, increasing crash risk for surrounding traffic.
Chrysler filed the campaign with NHTSA on September 10, 2026. It includes certain Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models from 2022 through 2026, depending on model and body length. Model year alone is not enough; owners should confirm the exact VIN.
Quick answer: Check campaign 26V584000 or Jeep recall 81D by VIN. Dealers will replace the roof-rack crossbar pivot bolts free of charge. Interim owner letters are expected October 8, 2026, with a second notice when the final remedy is available.

Wagoneer Roof-Rack Recall: 7 Owner Checks
1. Run the complete VIN
Use the official NHTSA recall lookup or contact a Jeep dealer. Reference 26V584000 or campaign 81D.
2. Remove roof cargo before inspection
Do not continue carrying a cargo box, bicycles or other equipment on crossbars whose campaign status is unknown. Follow Jeep’s current instructions rather than improvising a load limit.
3. Do not rely on a visual check alone
A bolt can look seated without meeting the required installation specification. The recall remedy calls for dealer replacement of the pivot bolts, not a casual owner retightening.
4. Avoid a do-it-yourself torque guess
Using an assumed torque value or the wrong hardware can damage the mount or create false confidence. Have the recall completed with approved parts and procedures.
5. Confirm remedy availability
The filing anticipates an interim notice and a later final-remedy notice. Call ahead and ask whether parts and campaign instructions are available for the VIN.
6. Save the repair order
The document should identify the VIN, campaign 81D, parts installed and completion date. Keep it with maintenance records for resale.
7. Inspect accessories separately
The recall repair does not certify a cargo box, aftermarket rack or damaged roof rail. Check those components and their load limits independently.
What Used Wagoneer Buyers Should Verify
Ask the seller for a current VIN result and dealer repair order. If the remedy is not yet complete, write responsibility and timing into the purchase agreement. Do not accept a verbal statement that the bars “feel tight.”
A completed Jeep Wagoneer recall repair does not replace a full inspection. Review Carvul’s used-car inspection checklist and vehicle-history guide, then inspect the roof for prior cargo or collision damage.
How to Document the Wagoneer Recall Repair
Ask the dealer for a repair order showing the complete VIN, campaign 81D, the replacement pivot bolts and completion date. Recheck the official VIN result after processing time and retain both records with the SUV’s service history.
Buyers should also identify whether the crossbars are factory equipment or an aftermarket accessory. The federal campaign addresses the listed original crossbar installation; it does not certify unrelated accessories, cargo boxes, roof tents or damage from previous overloading.
What to Check Before Carrying Roof Cargo Again
Wait for VIN-specific confirmation that the approved campaign work is complete. Then inspect the rails, crossbars, mounting points and cargo attachment for visible damage. Confirm the vehicle and accessory load limits in their current manuals because the recall repair does not increase rated capacity.
Distribute cargo according to manufacturer instructions and recheck attachment before every trip. If a crossbar moves, produces a new noise or shows damage, stop using it and contact the dealer. Do not substitute hardware-store bolts or assume that tightening an old pivot bolt completes campaign 81D.
