Jeep is recalling over 194,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs globally due to fire risks, even when the ignition is off. The recall impacts the Wrangler 4xe (2020-2024) and Grand Cherokee 4xe (2022-2024), primarily in North America. Until repairs are made, Jeep advises owners to refrain from charging their vehicles and to park outdoors, away from buildings.
                                    
                                    
                                
                                
                             
                            
                            
                            
                            
                            
                                
                                
                                    
                                        Stellantis, the manufacturer, assures that a solution is imminent and will notify customers once it's available. They state that the fire risk diminishes when the battery is less charged. The recall was triggered after a routine data review revealed 13 fire incidents and two injuries, affecting approximately 5% of the SUVs.
