The NHTSA listings in the supplied data show 15 recall entries affecting the Jeep Renegade family; one recall specifically references certain 2018 Jeep Renegade vehicles for an electrical powertrain control module issue (recall U87). These recall entries cover components such as the electrical system (PCM voltage regulator), fuel pump assemblies, software vulnerabilities, transmission sensor wiring (9-speed units), rear suspension brackets, trailer hitch fasteners, rearview camera software, instrument panel software, and more. For the 2018 Jeep Renegade, confirm applicability by VIN since some recalls apply only to specific model years, engines, or optional equipment.
How do I check if my 2018 Jeep Renegade has an open recall?
Use your vehicle VIN on the NHTSA.gov recall lookup or bring your vehicle to Kahlo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and we will check for free. You can also call Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to confirm recall notices referenced in NHTSA records.

How much does a 2018 Jeep Renegade recall repair cost?
Manufacturer recall repairs are free of charge to the vehicle owner when performed at an authorized dealer. At Kahlo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Noblesville, IN, recall remedies such as PCM replacement (U87), software updates, or hardware fastener installations are performed using OEM parts at no cost under the manufacturer program. If additional non‑recall repairs are recommended, we offer transparent estimates, service financing options, and current service specials to help.
Can I get my 2018 Jeep Renegade recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Recall repairs should be performed by an authorized franchise dealer to ensure OEM parts, factory diagnostics, and warranty compliance; some remedies require dealer-only programming or module replacement. Kahlo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has factory-trained technicians and OEM diagnostic tools needed to perform all Chrysler/Jeep recall repairs correctly and safely. To avoid risks to safety, warranty or future resale value, schedule service with our certified team — we also offer service financing so you can get service now and pay later.
How long does a 2018 Jeep Renegade recall repair take?
Repair time varies by recall: software updates often take under an hour, while module replacements or part swaps may take several hours; Kahlo CDJR provides an estimated turnaround when you schedule appointment. For example, radio or ORC software updates are typically quick, while replacing a powertrain control module or fuel pump may require more diagnostic time and parts ordering. We work to minimize downtime, offer courtesy shuttle options in the Noblesville area, and will notify you when your vehicle is ready; check our current service specials for added convenience.
Does an open recall affect my 2018 Jeep Renegade's trade-in or resale value?
Unresolved recalls can negatively affect resale and trade-in value because many buyers and dealers check NHTSA recall status before purchase. Getting recalls resolved at an authorized dealer like Kahlo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram documents that the vehicle was repaired with OEM parts and protects value when you consider a trade-in. To protect value, consider getting recall work completed before listing or trading your vehicle — you can start with a VIN check or trade-in appraisal.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2018 Jeep Renegade recall?
Some recalls involve safety-critical systems that can affect inspection outcomes or insurance coverage, so unresolved recalls may create complications during state inspections or sale transfers. The NHTSA advises owners to have recall repairs performed promptly; Kahlo CDJR recommends resolving safety-related recalls such as braking, engine stall, or air bag ORC issues to avoid inspection or insurance problems. If you need a check before inspection, schedule service with our certified technicians and ask about service financing if needed.
