Check by VIN

A campaign rarely covers every Jeep CJ5 of a given year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.

Vehicle identification number Find my recalls

Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.

Copy VIN and open NHTSA.gov

Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.

Common questions

Does the Jeep CJ5 have recalls?

Which Jeep CJ5 model year has the most recalls?

On NHTSA’s records the 1976 Jeep CJ5 has the most campaigns, with 4. A higher count does not by itself mean a less safe vehicle: some campaigns are small compliance fixes, and newer models have had less time to accumulate campaigns.

How do I find out if my Jeep CJ5 is affected?

Choose your model year below to read each campaign, then check your VIN on NHTSA’s lookup. Campaigns usually cover a production range, so two cars of the same year can differ.
