Jeep Grand Wagoneer Safety
NHTSA safety across every Jeep Grand Wagoneer model year we cover.
Across the 5 model years of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer we cover (2022 to 2026), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2026 at 87 on the NHTSA Safety Index. 34 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a full-size, three-row SUV positioned at the top of Stellantis's Jeep lineup, competing in the premium domestic hauler segment alongside rivals like the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. It targets buyers who want maximum interior space, towing capability, and a nameplate with American heritage. Safety-conscious shoppers, however, will want to look closely before signing.
The 2022 Grand Wagoneer lacks a complete safety profile. The NHTSA has not crash-tested this vehicle for any model year from 2022 through 2025. This omission leaves a significant gap in federal star ratings and independent crash-test benchmarks, a notable absence for a vehicle of its size and price point. The recall record further compounds this. Across the 2022-to-2025 model years, the Grand Wagoneer has accumulated 23 recalls. This high count for a relatively short production window suggests ongoing engineering and component corrections by Stellantis since the vehicle's launch. Owner complaints total 132 across the covered years. These include 4 alleged crashes, 7 alleged injuries, and 1 alleged fire. While NHTSA notes these are unverified allegations, the pattern warrants monitoring. Without federal crash-test data, a significant safety assessment of the Grand Wagoneer remains unfulfilled. Prospective owners should verify all open recalls for their specific VIN are addressed before purchase.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the Grand Wagoneer for its commanding road presence, richly appointed cabin, and generous passenger space across all three rows. Driving dynamics are described as composed for a vehicle of its size, and the infotainment and comfort features draw consistent approval. Some reviewers note that the overall execution and refinement feel more polished in later model years, though value relative to European luxury SUVs is sometimes questioned.
- NHTSA has not issued a crash-test rating for any Grand Wagoneer model year from 2022 through 2025, meaning there is no federal star score to evaluate structural or occupant protection performance.
- The Grand Wagoneer has accumulated 23 recalls across just four model years, an elevated count that shoppers should review carefully. Always run your specific VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup tool and confirm all open recalls have been completed before taking delivery.
- Owner complaints on file with NHTSA include 4 alleged crashes and 7 alleged injuries across 132 total filings. These are unverified allegations, but the volume and nature of the reports warrant attention as you research this model.
- Because no independent crash-test data exists for this vehicle, safety-focused shoppers may want to compare the Grand Wagoneer against segment rivals that have earned full NHTSA or IIHS ratings before making a final decision.
