Chrysler Recalls Over 320,000 Jeep Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Due to Battery Issue
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. traffic safety regulators have announced that Chrysler is recalling more than 320,000 Jeep plug-in hybrid vehicles due to a faulty battery that could potentially fail and lead to a fire.
The automaker, which is owned by Netherlands-based Stellantis, has received reports of 19 incidents and one injury that may be linked to the issue.
The affected vehicles include 228,221 Jeep Wranglers from model years 2020 to 2025 and 91,844 Jeep Grand Cherokees from model years 2022 to 2026. Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until a solution is determined. They should also refrain from charging their vehicles, according to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Agency.
Interim notification letters will be sent to affected vehicle owners by December 2, 2025, with additional updates to follow once a final remedy is available.
Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403 for more information. The recall number is 68C, and Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) related to this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting November 6, 2025. Vehicles that were previously recalled for the same issue under different recalls will require the new remedy, as specified by the NHTSA.
The faulty batteries were produced by Samsung SDI America, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
