Jeep Wrangler 4-Door Rhd
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 Wrangler 4-Door RHD's safety profile is one of the most important things to understand about this vehicle, and the numbers are sobering. Its best NHTSA Safety Index across our covered years lands at 64 out of 100 for 2025, placing it firmly in the Below Average band. The rollover rating of 3 out of 5 stars reflects the high center of gravity that comes with the Wrangler's tall, boxy architecture, a known characteristic of this platform. Frontal and side crash-test ratings are listed as Not Rated, meaning shoppers cannot rely on those benchmarks to complete the safety picture. On the recall front, the news is genuinely positive. Zero recalls across the 2024 and 2025 model years is a clean record worth acknowledging. Owner complaints, however, total 684 across both years, which is a significant volume for a specialized variant. Within those unverified allegations, 13 involve crashes, 5 involve injuries, and 4 involve fire. These are allegations, not confirmed findings, but the complaint density warrants attention. The honest bottom line: the Wrangler RHD serves a real and legitimate purpose, but buyers choosing it for general family or commuter use should weigh the Below Average safety index and the incomplete crash-test picture seriously. Its strengths are capability and zero recalls, not crash protection benchmarks.
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.
