Stellantis Recalls 202K Jeeps Over TPMS Software Defect
STLA is trading near its 52-week low of $5.05 (5.1% above the low).
Summary
Stellantis is recalling 201,976 Jeep vehicles in the US because a software defect can prevent the tire-pressure monitoring system from alerting drivers to low tire pressure, increasing crash risk. NHTSA says the affected models—Wagoneer, Grand Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, and Cherokee, including long-wheelbase and plug-in hybrid versions—don't meet federal TPMS requirements. Dealers will update the radio-frequency hub software at no charge. No crashes or injuries have been linked to the defect. The recall is a regulatory compliance issue that could dent consumer confidence and add warranty costs, though the financial impact is likely modest relative to Stellantis's scale.
At the time of this announcement, STLA was trading at $5.31 on NYSE in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $20B. The 52-week trading range was $5.05 to $12.22.
