History Behind The Recall
Stellantis has announced a global recall of 375,000 Jeep SUVs after confirming 19 battery‑related fires and one injury. The automaker is warning owners to park outdoors and avoid charging their vehicles until a permanent solution is ready.
The recall impacts plug‑in hybrid versions of the 2020–2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. About 320,000 vehicles are in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The batteries, supplied by Samsung SDI, have been linked to internal cell defects, including separator damage that can lead to short circuits and fires. Stellantis previously recalled thousands of Jeep plug‑in hybrids in 2023 and 2024 for similar problems—vehicles that were already repaired under those campaigns will now need to be fixed again.
Which Models Are Affected
- 2020–2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
- 2022–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
Both models use the same Samsung‑built battery pack design and have shown evidence of overheating and spontaneous ignition, even after software updates.
What Should Owners Do Next?
Stellantis says a repair remedy is coming soon, but until it is available, owners should:
- Park their vehicles outdoors, away from homes and other structures.
- Do not plug in or charge the vehicle.
- Visit NHTSA.gov or Jeep.com/recalls to check if their VIN is affected.
- Wait for official recall letters or emails, expected to begin in the coming weeks.
If you notice smoke, odors, or warning lights from your Jeep 4xe, contact your local dealer immediately.
