Stellantis recalls 375,000 Jeep SUVs over fire risks, urges owners to park outside
NHTSA warns High Voltage Battery May Fail and Cause Fire; Fire Risk Warning
OCTOBER 2025 — Reuters.com – Stellantis said Tuesday it is recalling 375,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs worldwide over battery failure after 19 reports of fires, and urged owners to park outdoors until a fix is completed.
The recall covers some 2020 through 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs.
The company said a recall remedy is imminent but, until then, owners should park away from structures and refrain from charging vehicles because of fire risks.
Stellantis told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it had reports of 19 fires and one injury linked to the issue. About 320,000 of the recalled vehicles are in the United States.
The automaker said the batteries were produced by Samsung SDI. An investigation by Stellantis and Samsung SDI determined that a fire earlier this year was caused by the same defect reported in the 2024 recall of 154,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep EVs after reports of two injuries.
Vehicles that were repaired after recalls in 2023 and 2024 will need to be fixed again, NHTSA said.
Samsung SDI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Stellantis said it had received nine reports of fires originating from the battery in plug-in Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee vehicles that received software in the 2024 recall, and 10 fires from batteries outside the scope of that recall.
Samsung SDI has stated the most likely root cause is separator damage combined with other complex interactions within the battery cells.

Stellantis to recall more than 91,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles over possible loss of drive power
NHTSA warns hybrid control processor defect may result in loss of drive power without warning
SEPTEMBER 2025 — foxbusiness.com — Chrysler parent company Stellantis is recalling more than 91,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee hybrids in the U.S. due to a software malfunction that may result in a loss of drive power, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Thursday.
Some Jeep Grand Cherokee Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles, model years 2022 through 2026, may have an overloading of the battery pack control module microprocessor, causing it to reset. When this happens, the hybrid control processor can misinterpret signals from the battery pack control module — potentially resulting in a loss of drive power, the NHTSA noted.
“An unexpected loss of propulsion can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning,” the NHTSA noted.
Of the 91,787 possibly affected vehicles, only 1%, or around 918 of them, are believed to have the defect, according to the NHTSA website.
Similar vehicles that are not part of this recall either do not have a hybrid control processor or were built after the affected timeframe, according to the NHTSA.
As of Aug. 18, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles had received 96 customer complaints, 110 field reports and 320 other service records linked to the issue. As of the same date, the company is not aware of any crashes or injuries linked to the problem, the NHTSA noted.
On Sept. 11, dealers will be notified, and vehicle identification numbers (VINs) that are affected by the recall will be searchable on the NHTSA website. Owner notification letters will be mailed on Oct. 23, according to the NHTSA.
