(Washington, DC ) -- Important information if you drive a Jeep.
Chrysler has issued a recall for 2020-2025 Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. There's a risk of fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven. Owners should park outside and refrain from charging until a remedy is available and performed on their vehicle. Owners should not charge unrepaired vehicle batteries because the risk of fire is higher in a charged battery than when the battery is depleted.
The recall affects 228,221 Jeep Wrangler and 91,844 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Chrysler reports one injury potentially related to this defect.
Affected vehicle identification numbers and license plates will be searchable on NHTSA.gov for this recall starting on Thursday, November 6, and owners can call NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.
