Is P0133 a known problem on Jeep vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 43 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0133 on 10 Jeep model years (2016–2025). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Jeep models does P0133 appear on most?

2024 Wrangler (7 documents), 2025 Wrangler (6 documents), 2020 Wrangler (6 documents).

Does P0133 on a Jeep mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
