US EditionChrysler Recalls 320,000 Jeep Plug-in Hybrids Due to Faulty Battery that Can Catch Fire
Stellantis recalls 320,000 U.S. Jeep plug-in hybrids for defective lithium-ion batteries causing 19 reported fires, urging owners to avoid charging and park outdoors until fixed.
- U.S. regulators posted that Stellantis NV is recalling about 320,065 Jeep plug-in hybrids over fire risk, affecting model years 2020-2025 Wrangler 4xe and 2022-2026 Grand Cherokee 4xe.
- Investigators found the issue in the battery packs when Samsung SDI America’s high-voltage battery pack cells showed separator damage, risking short circuits and thermal runaway.
- Data filed with regulators show an internal investigation found 19 fires and one injury, including nine fires in Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles with the 17.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
- Owners are being told to park outdoors and avoid charging until Stellantis technicians inspect and repair vehicles, with NHTSA.gov VIN search available November 6 and interim notification letters expected December 2, 2025.
- The recall follows prior 2024 recall of more than 150,000 units and a nearly 25,000-unit recent recall, with NHTSA and Stellantis acknowledging earlier fixes were ineffective as CEO Antonio Filosa pledged about $13 billion U.S. investment last month.
