375,000 Hybrids Recalled, Owners Told to Park Outdoors, Not to Charge Vehicles
Stellantis is recalling 375,000 Jeep plug-in hybrids worldwide due to batteries that can cause fires; 19 fire reports and one injury have been linked to the defect, regulators said.
- On Nov 4, Stellantis said it is recalling 375,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs worldwide after 19 reports of fires, urging owners to park outdoors and avoid charging until a fix is available.
- Stellantis said investigations traced the fault to Samsung SDI batteries produced by Samsung SDI America, citing separator damage linked to a fire earlier this year in the 2024 recall of 154,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep EVs.
- About 320,000 of the affected vehicles are in the United States, including 228,221 2020-2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 91,844 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe models.
- NHTSA says VINs will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting November 6, 2025, and interim notification letters are expected by December 2, 2025; owners should park away from structures and avoid charging, contacting Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403.
- Vehicles fixed in earlier recalls will need the new repair as Stellantis reported nine fires in previously fixed vehicles and 10 fires outside that scope.
