— A Jeep 4xe fire recall involves more than 194,000 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles following at least 13 fires.
FCA is warning owners of 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs to stop recharging their vehicles until they are repaired.
The Jeep 4xe vehicles should also be parked away from anything that could catch fire.
The Jeep plug-in hybrids which caught fire were all parked and shut off, and Chrysler says the Jeep 4xe fire risk is decreased when the battery charge is depleted.
FCA discovered the 13 Jeep 4xe fires while reviewing customer data, and the automaker says it estimates the problem may affect 5% of the Jeeps.
In November 2023, Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles were recalled for the same problem (recall 23V-787), and those owners will need to take their Wranglers back to dealers for repairs.
There wasn't much additional information announced, but the latest Jeep 4xe fire recall includes more than 154,000 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs in the U.S., more than 14,000 in Canada, 673 in Mexico, and about 25,500 Jeep 4xe vehicles are recalled outside North America.
According to Chrysler, a "remedy is imminent," and all Jeep 4xe customers should follow the instructions on the recall notices. Jeep 4xe fire recall letters should be mailed October 17, 2024.
Owners of 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs may call 800-853-1403.
