32k Hybrid Jeep Wranglers Recalled for Fire Risk

Nov. 28, 2023
Stellantis found cases of Jeep Wrangler SUVs catching on fire while parked and turned off.

Stellantis is recalling over 32,000 hybrid Jeep Wrangler SUVs due to a potential fire risk, USA Today reports.

The recall applies to 2021-2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe SUVs.

Following a routine internal investigation from a company review of customer data, Stellantis found that eight Jeep Wrangler SUVs caught on fire while parked and turned off. Six of the vehicles were charging when they caught on fire.

The automaker said that while vehicle owners may still operate their cars, they should avoid charging them and should keep recalled vehicles away from structures or buildings.

To remedy the issue, Stellantis will have a software flash performed on recalled vehicles. If the appropriate error code is detected, the battery pack will be replaced.
