History

Historical Context

After NHTSA forced Toyota to recall roughly 9 million cars in 2009–2011 over floor-mat pedal entrapment, the agency instituted nationwide digital alert tools. Those systems now underpin the 2024 NHTSA order for Stellantis to recall 1,076,999 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models, illustrating how the earlier mass recall shaped today’s rapid, app-based consumer warnings.
