NHTSA recall 20E047000 · Equipment
Suspension
The defect
TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain Rubicon Express 4.5" and 5.5" Super-Flex suspension lift kits, part numbers JT7147, Universal lift kit JT7099, Arm lift kit JT7102, and W/GCB lift kit JT7145 sold for installation on 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator vehicles. The fitment guide for the lift kits may have inaccurately stated that 40" tires are compatible with the kit, however, installation of 40" tires can affect vehicle stability in certain emergency maneuvering situations.
The risk
Reduced vehicle stability from installing 40" tires can increase the risk of a crash during certain emergency maneuvering situations.
The remedy
TAP will notify owners, and will replace the fitment guide and if necessary, will replace 40" tires with tires of an appropriate size, free of charge. The recall began September 2, 2020. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.
