2022 Jeep Wagoneer

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Wagoneer.

The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer is defined mechanically by an engine requiring 7.0 quarts of 0W-20 oil, yet researchers must weigh this baseline against a deeply troubled reliability profile. This model year has generated 188 owner complaints predominantly focused on the electrical system, a substantial figure further compounded by nine separate recalls. As a result, 2022 marks the highest complaint year in the model's 19902025 history—dwarfing the single complaint logged in 1992—meaning it currently represents the peak of reliability risk for the vehicle.

Inspection Procedure (Upper) — tightening sequence 1 stages
1Place jack stands as far out as possible under both lower control arms. Step 3: The vehicle can now be lowered onto the jack stands supporting as much weight as possible. Step 4: Remove front tires. Step 5: Place plunger on upper side of upper ball joint making sure that it is perpendicular to boss machined surface. Step 6: Use a pry bar between upper control arm and knuckle to pry upward. Step 7: Document movement from the dial indicator. Step 8: Replace upper control arm and ball joint if travel exceeds specifications.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer marks the revival of the nameplate after a decades-long hiatus, and the federal record shows it as the most problematic year of the new generation. With 188 complaints, 9 recalls, and 602 TSBs, the 2022 model far exceeds the 2023 (92 complaints, 8 recalls), 2024 (44 complaints, 6 recalls), and 2025 (5 complaints, 1 recall) in every metric, indicating a clear downward trend in reported issues. The top complaint areas for 2022 center on the electrical system, with 21 complaints specifically for that system, plus 11 crash-related and 2 fire-related complaints. While the data does not specify root causes, the pattern suggests that 2022 was a launch year with teething problems that were progressively addressed in later models. For a used buyer, the 2022 Wagoneer is a riskier choice compared to 2023 or 2024, which show significantly fewer complaints and recalls.
