What owners and recalls point to
Wikipedia says the Wagoneer S is built in Toluca, Mexico, on the STLA Large platform, with two motors and four-wheel drive. Its battery is 100.5 kWh gross and 93.9 kWh net. EPA lists AWD versions on Falken or Pirelli tires.
Production began in 2024, so these SUVs are young. No 2026 Wagoneer S has a complaint on file yet, and even the 2024s have spent only a short while with owners.
| Model year | Complaints | Crashes | Recalls | Most-named components |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 28 | 2 | 5 | Electrical (17), power train and brakes (3 each) |
| 2025 | 52 | 0 | 6 | Electrical (28), service brakes (10) |

- 25V575: a wrong cross car beam in the instrument panel (8).
