Stellantis Recalls Over 300,000 Jeep Hybrids Due to Fire Risk
TL;DR Summary
Stellantis is recalling over 300,000 Jeep plug-in hybrids in North America due to a fire risk linked to defective high-voltage batteries, which could cause fires when parked or driving. Owners are advised to park outdoors and avoid charging until repairs are completed, as the issue involves separator damage in lithium-ion cells that can lead to thermal runaway. The recall affects Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe models from 2020-2026, with no current fix available.
