Jeep Wrangler JK ABS Module Issue: History, Stellantis Response, and Safety Concerns Background: The Discontinued ABS Module Problem Jeep Wrangler owners (particularly Wrangler JK models from 2011–2018) have been plagued by failures of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module – a critical component that controls the vehicle’s anti-lock brakes and stability control. The problematic part is commonly referenced by Mopar part number 68259556 (with revisions AA, AB, AC, AD, AE for 2014–2018 Wranglers). In recent years, this ABS module was discontinued by the manufacturer and put on indefinite backorder, leaving owners unable to obtain a replacement when the unit fails. The issue isn’t isolated to just one part number or model – similar ABS module shortages and failures have been reported in other Stellantis vehicles (including later Wrangler JLs and even Ram trucks) as well. Stellantis (the parent company of Jeep, formerly FCA) has not provided new stock of the module for an extended period, creating a nationwide shortage that has frustrated many customers and raised serious safety concerns. Timeline of the Issue and Part History Owners and mechanics first began noticing ABS module availability problems around 2021–2022, coinciding with supply-chain disruptions and corporate changes. Mopar initially listed the Wrangler JK ABS module as on backorder, with projected availability dates that kept slipping (one OEM parts source in early 2022 noted the part was backordered with no firm ETA). By 2023, the situation worsened: dealerships reported that no new units were being produced at all, effectively discontinuing the part without warning. Supplier Fallout: According to insider reports on Jeep forums, the shortage stemmed from a supplier issue – the original ABS module supplier for Jeep/FCA stopped production (allegedly after Stellantis attempted to cut costs), and it took the company over half a year to find a new supplier. Some reports claim Stellantis “tried to

I am one of thousands of Jeep Wrangler owners whose ABS modules have failed, not due to normal wear and tear, but because it is a defective part. The result for my car is that the ABS system indiscriminately applies braking to a wheel that is not necessary. This results in steering problems, overheated brake pads, and vibrations in all four wheels. The ABS module needs to be replaced, but there are none in the U.S. to buy. The part has been on back order for years! Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, has not done anything to resolve the supply chain issues with this part. I am aware of some Jeep owners who have left their Jeeps at a Jeep dealership for over a year, waiting for a replacement part! In some states, such as Hawaii, where my Jeep is located, an annual safety inspection must be passed to drive the car on Hawaii's roads. With ABS and traction control warning lights, my Jeep won't pass. At this point, I cannot drive my Jeep legally or safely. The NSHTA has been made aware of the safety issues of Jeep Wranglers driving with faulty ABS modules or, in some cases, disconnected ABS systems. A national recall should have been implemented years ago.

ABS module needs replacing which can lead to accidents and care unexpectedly going into lump mode. Part is impossible to get as Jeep as not produced in years and on permanent backorder. This is a safety hazard for myself and my family. Jeep refuses to issue a recall or offer a fix.

The ABS module on my Jeep is failing with a C2200 code andthe ABS, Brake, and traction control lights illuminated on the dash. This is a very common problem with Jeep Wranglers as has been noted in several online communities. Some have been waiting literally years for a replacement part from their dealerships with none either being made or delivered and no solution for repair for thousands of people. This is clearly a major safety issue for thousands of people with Wrangler from the years 2008 - 2019. This needs to be a recall.

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this letter as a formal complaint regarding the unresolved unavailability of a safety-critical ABS module for my vehicle and the improper closure of my case by Stellantis without escalation. Vehicle Information: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara ABS Control Module Dealer Documentation: On January 15, 2026, I received written confirmation from Texan Dodge in Humble, Texas, stating that: • ABS Module #68259556AD is currently on backorder • That dealership alone has 15 pending orders • There are 300+ customers nationwide currently in the supply queue • No ETA or ship date has been provided by the supplier This documentation demonstrates that the issue is systemic, not isolated, and not resolvable simply by prepaying a dealership order. Case Handling Concerns: Despite providing this information and formally requesting escalation, the assigned Stellantis case manager stated that she intended to close the case and refused to forward it to the next supervisory or corporate review level. The case was closed over my objection while the issue remains unresolved. Core Issues: • The ABS module is a federally required safety component • There is a documented, nationwide shortage with no ETA

ABS module has stopped working. OEM parts are not available. Only used or repaired parts are available and they are 3 to 5 times what they should normally cost. This affects antilock brakes and traction control.

The ABS warning light, Traction Control warning light, and Emergency Brake light are all lite up on the dashboard of my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. ABS is not working on my Jeep. Mechanic shop checked for codes and said the ABS control module is bad and needs to be replaced. The shop qouted me $1,500.00 for parts and labor and that was if they could find a new ABS control module somewhere. If part isn't replaced, I'm told that brakes could fail or Jeep could seize up after being driven so many miles. Mechanic shop said ABS control module for Jeeps is on National backorder and they are hard to find, can find used ones at salvage yards but they are priced three and four times what they normally cost brand new and they may or may not be able to flash the module to match my VIN on a used one. In other words, can't get a new one because they are not being produced any longer, and there's no guarantee that a used one will work. Online forums have confirmed all of this information also, as there are thousands of people who are having this same issue over the past year or so. I have spoken with several online dealers who sell OEM Mopar parts and they have confirmed that this part isn't even being produced any longer and there is no replacement part for it. So all this to say, my Jeep is parked, undrivable because of a safety issue due to this part (ABS control module) not being produced by anyone any longer.

2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, 3.6L, V6. Vehicle suddenly goes into “limp mode” while on highway due to bad ABS brake control module. Mopar replacement part number 68259556AD, but it is on back order nationally for over a year. Jeep dealer will not take to fix. Chrysler Dodge doing nothing about it, forcing owners to drive vehicles without ABS or traction control. This is not right with customers as we need car to work or it is a 2 ton paper weight. There appears to be no incentive to fix this back order issue. Please help!

My ABS control modual went out 14 months ago and no replacement part has been available at any jeep dealership. They state that this part is on extended back order. I have spent months trying to get this replacement. I believe it should be a recall. It not safe to have thousands of jeeps from year 2012 to 2020 on the road with non functioning ABS control moduals.

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that has the brake, ABS and traction control lights on. It is a FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULE. When these lights are on, these systems are disabled. Jeep has told me that this part is on back order, due to a high failure rate. It is a safety issue when these systems are down. I have been told that some customers have waited a year or longer for the part, with some selling the vehicles. I think this problem needs a recall.

•The ABS system has failed in this vehicle. The cruise control has also failed. According to research, these are related. Diagnostics show a 2200 code “anti-lock brake module internal”. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Internet research reveals that this is a very common failure with this vehicle. The parts are unavailable from Jeep/Chrysler and other suppliers. Module rebuilding services such as Module Master cannot even refurbish these modules since the chips are no longer available. This leaves many Jeep/Chrysler vehicles either inoperable or on the road without ABS. •Without ABS, the safety of our family is at risk every time we drive since this important safety feature has failed and is irreparable. Anyone driving in the vicinity of any of these vehicles is also potentially at risk due to this system failure. •This problem is persistent and has been confirmed by advanced diagnostics (code 2200, see above). •The vehicle/ABS system has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others besides my neighbor, who assisted with diagnostics. •We were alerted to the failure by dash warning lights- the brake, ABS, and traction control lights are all illuminated. •In summary, this is a common failure for these Jeep/Chrysler vehicles which has been compounded by the manufacturer’s (and other’s) inability to provide repair parts to correct the failure. We respectfully request an investigation into this issue with a directive to the manufacturer to recall these vehicles.

ABS Module has gone bad. Replacements are not being made, and it is unable to be rebuilt. This forces me to drive with the anti-lock brake system not working. This is my only means of transportation and I have to drive it to work to pay the grocery bill. I feel unsafe driving it, but I have no other choice. Something needs to be done, and replacement parts need to be made available. 1

ABS light, stability control light and brake light on instrument cluster is illuminated. Took vehicle to dealership. They stated that the ABS module is faulty and needs to be replaced. The person at the dealership said that he could not say whether or not the vehicle is safe to drive. Did a little research and found that this part has failed on many vehicles, and there are over 500 of this item backordered across the country. The dealership has no idea when to expect replacement part.
