CRASH
DATANot crash-tested
The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S enters the market without federal crash-test ratings; NHTSA has not evaluated this model. Consequently, no Safety Index score is available, and its occupant protection performance in collisions remains unassessed by federal standards. The available data presents a Light recall and complaint burden band, indicating a lower volume of issues relative to other vehicles. However, five active recall campaigns have been issued, addressing concerns across electrical, structural, lighting, and powertrain systems. In addition, 22 unverified owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA. This record, while informative on certain aspects of vehicle integrity, offers an incomplete picture of overall safety, specifically lacking crucial crashworthiness data. "Not tested" is not a judgment on crash safety; it simply means the information is absent.
The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S was not crash-tested by NHTSA and carries five recall campaigns and a Light recall and complaint burden band, according to NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S?
The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S, a first-generation battery-electric vehicle, exhibits a recall record consistent with the early production challenges of newly launched EV platforms. Five distinct campaigns have been issued in roughly two model years, addressing issues from cosmetic to safety critical. These include concerns with the instrument cluster software, liftgate hardware, brake lights, headlight aim, and, most notably, the park pawl spring. The park pawl recall is operationally significant, as an incorrectly installed spring in an electric drivetrain's park mechanism directly implicates rollaway risk. Owner complaints, totaling 22 unverified allegations, are predominantly focused on the Electrical System, which accounts for 17 entries. This aligns with the software-heavy architecture inherent in modern EVs. The combined volume of recalls and complaints places the Wagoneer S in the lower burden band for a vehicle of its age. As a new model, no NHTSA-tested sibling years exist to provide a comparative crash-safety reference point.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S have any recalls?
