Jeep Wagoneer S
NHTSA safety across every Jeep Wagoneer S model year we cover.
Across the 2 model years of the Jeep Wagoneer S we cover (2024 to 2025), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 11 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Jeep Wagoneer S is a fully electric midsize SUV positioned as a premium, technology-forward entry in Jeep's revived Wagoneer lineup. Aimed at buyers who want an upscale, zero-emission family hauler with off-road brand credibility, it competes in a crowded and fast-growing segment where safety credentials matter as much as range and refinement.
At MotorCaliber, our safety picture for the Jeep Wagoneer S is built on three pillars: crash-test results, recall activity, and owner complaints. On the first pillar, we have nothing to work with. NHTSA has not crash-tested the Wagoneer S for any model year we cover, meaning shoppers cannot lean on a star rating when making their decision. That is a meaningful gap for a vehicle in this price class and segment, and we flag it plainly. On the recall front, the Wagoneer S has accumulated 11 recalls across just the 2024 and 2025 model years. For a vehicle that is still in its launch window, that volume is notable and warrants attention. Recalls are not automatically a red flag if they are addressed promptly, but 11 actions in two model years suggests Stellantis has been working through a range of early-production issues on this all-new platform. Shoppers should verify that any specific vehicle has all open recalls resolved before purchase or delivery. Owner complaints total 65, a modest number at this stage, with 2 crash-related allegations and no reported fires, injuries, or deaths. Those figures are unverified. The bottom line is straightforward: the Wagoneer S arrives with genuine brand ambition but no independent crash-test validation and a recall count that demands due diligence from any serious buyer.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally find the Wagoneer S to be a visually striking and well-appointed electric SUV, praising its interior materials, available technology features, and the strong acceleration typical of its electric powertrain. Driving dynamics are described as composed and comfortable for the segment. Some reviewers note that the vehicle is still early in its production life and that overall refinement continues to develop.
- The Wagoneer S has not been crash-tested by NHTSA for any model year MotorCaliber covers, so no star ratings exist to guide your safety comparison against competitors.
- Eleven recalls have been issued across the 2024 and 2025 model years alone. Before buying or taking delivery, confirm every open recall on the specific VIN has been completed using NHTSA's free recall lookup tool.
- Owner complaints total 65, including 2 crash-related allegations. These are unverified reports, but reviewing them on NHTSA's complaint database can surface patterns worth discussing with your dealer.
- As an all-new electric platform still in its early production phase, the Wagoneer S carries the inherent uncertainty of a first-generation vehicle. Monitoring recall and complaint trends over the next model year is advisable before committing to a purchase.
