Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Rhd Safety
NHTSA safety across every Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Rhd model year we cover.
Across the 3 model years of the Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Rhd we cover (2024 to 2026), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2026 at 67 on the NHTSA Safety Index, and the lowest is the 2024 at 61. No recalls are on record across those years.
The Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Right-Hand Drive is a purpose-built SUV aimed squarely at rural mail carriers, utility fleet operators, and off-road enthusiasts who need a rugged, body-on-frame platform with right-hand access. It occupies a uniquely narrow segment, trading everyday refinement for serious capability. For 2024 and 2025, MotorCaliber examined its federal safety record, and the picture demands careful attention before any purchase decision.
The 2025 Wrangler 4-Door RHD presents an incomplete crash-test profile. Neither frontal nor side crash-test ratings are available from NHTSA, leaving significant gaps in the vehicle's safety assessment. This absence of data means consumers cannot compare it against these critical benchmarks. The SUV's high center of gravity contributes to its 3 out of 5-star rollover rating. This result is consistent with the Wrangler's design. Overall, the 2025 Wrangler 4-Door RHD earned a Safety Index score of 64 out of 100. This places it in the Below Average category for crashworthiness as computed by this publication. In a positive development, the 2025 model year shows zero recalls. This clean record reflects well on the manufacturer's early quality control for this specific variant. Owner complaints, however, total 684 across the 2024 and 2025 model years. These reports include 13 alleged crashes, 5 alleged injuries, and 4 alleged fires. While these are unverified claims from owners, the volume of complaints deserves attention. For buyers considering the 2025 Wrangler 4-Door RHD, its unique purpose is clear. However, its Below Average Safety Index and the absence of key crash-test data mean its strengths lie in its specialized capabilities, not in comprehensive crash protection.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the Wrangler's unmatched off-road capability, open-air versatility, and iconic character, while consistently noting that its tall, body-on-frame design creates real-world handling and ride compromises. Most acknowledge it as a specialist tool that rewards buyers who genuinely need its capabilities, rather than a conventional daily driver.
- The best NHTSA Safety Index for this model is 64 out of 100, rated Below Average, meaning it scores meaningfully lower than many competitors in its broader SUV segment.
- Rollover risk is a documented concern, with only 3 out of 5 stars in NHTSA rollover testing, a direct consequence of the Wrangler's high center of gravity and short track width relative to its height.
- Frontal and side crash-test ratings are Not Rated by NHTSA for the covered model years, leaving two of the most critical safety dimensions without verified star scores for shoppers to evaluate.
- While 684 owner complaints have been filed across 2024 and 2025, including 13 alleged crashes and 4 alleged fire incidents, there are zero recalls on record for this vehicle during the same period, which is a meaningful bright spot in the safety data.
