Recall Roundup: 2 New Vehicle Recalls (September 13, 2026)
This week's notable NHTSA recalls — what's failing on each vehicle, the safety risk, and the fix.
Two recalls this week, both dealing with information the driver relies on to keep a vehicle loaded and inflated right. Neither is a mechanical failure, but both can lead you to overload or run on low tires without knowing it.
2026 Toyota 4Runner
NHTSA campaign 26V571000 covers a labeling problem. The load carrying capacity modification label may show the wrong added weight values, which means the vehicle doesn’t meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 for tire selection and rims. If that maximum capacity number is off, you could overload the vehicle without realizing it, and that raises the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the label for free. Owner letters are expected to go out October 18, 2026. Questions go to Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, recall number 26TA18.
This one reaches beyond the 4Runner. The same recall includes the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid, 2025 Tundra Hybrid and Tundra, 2026 RAV4 Hybrid, and the 4Runner i-Force Max Hybrid.
2026 Jeep Cherokee
NHTSA campaign 26V559000 is a software error in the tire pressure monitoring system. The system may fail to detect low tire pressure, or it may not turn on the TPMS warning light when it should, which puts these vehicles out of compliance with FMVSS 138. If the light doesn’t warn you about a low tire, you can keep driving on it and the risk of a crash goes up. Dealers will update the radio frequency hub software at no charge. Owner letters are expected to start September 29, 2026. Contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403, recall number 54D. The affected VINs become searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.
This recall also covers a long list of related models: the 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer, 2024-2026 Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Grand Cherokee 4XE, and Grand Wagoneer, the 2025 Wagoneer L, the 2025-2026 Grand Wagoneer L, and the Grand Wagoneer L PHEV.
