The summary:
Some Gladiator models have driveshafts that were assembled incorrectly from the factory, but less than 3,500 are affected.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has ordered the stop sale of Gladiators of specific production dates due to incorrect driveshaft installation. FCA reports that some sold without grease on the monoblock joint. The number of recalled examples is relatively small. However, Gladiator owners experiencing unusual rear-end noise must take their vehicle to a dealership immediately. Driveshaft failure can result in further vehicle damage and potential injury to occupants of the car and those around it.
The Car Connection reports that some Jeep dealerships are placing markups of up to $20,000 on new Gladiators. Some under recall are still in dealership new inventory. However, if a dealership sells one affected by the recall, they will face up to a $21,000 fine. Dealerships can still sell examples outside the recall date range, as well as ones that have the recall repair. Gladiator owners should call FCA directly or enter their VIN on the NHTSA recall website. The recall is for Jeep Gladiators with build dates spanning Dec. 15, 2018, through June 25, 2019.
