320,065 Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees Recalled Over Fire Risks

If you or somebody you know have these vehicles you may want to get it checked out.

Chrysler has announced it has recalled 320,065 hybrid Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees.

The recall comes as the Jeep’s hybrid SUV’s have the potential to cause a fire while the vehicle is parked.

CBS News provided more details on the massive recall and what models were impacted:

Chrysler is recalling 320,065 Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees because the plug-in hybrid SUVs’ high-voltage batteries could fail, potentially causing a fire while a vehicle is parked or in motion, according to federal regulators.

The affected vehicles include the Jeep Wrangler 4Xe for model years 2000-2025 and the Grand Cherokee 4Xe from 2022-2026.

Owners should park the vehicles outside and away from structures, and not charge the cars until they are fixed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a recall notice. The agency said a fix for the issue is currently under development, but didn’t specify when it might be available to vehicle owners.

In a statement to CBS News, Chrysler owner Stellantis said that a fix will be available soon.

“A remedy is imminent and affected customers will be notified when they may schedule service,” the company said.

It added, “Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from recharging. Out of an abundance of caution, the company is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained.”

The move by Chrysler comes as Ford has also issued a massive recall of its vehicles.

The Courier Journal provided further details on Ford’s most recent recall:

Ford Motor Co., the American automaker with two assembly plants in Louisville, has issued recalls for nearly 1.7 million vehicles — including many made at its Kentucky plants.

The manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks and SUVs in the metro is also one of the state’s largest employers, with some 11,000 employees between its Ford Kentucky Truck Plant and the smaller Louisville Assembly Plant.

In Louisville, Ford produces its marquee Super Duty trucks, Ford Expedition, Escape, Lincoln Navigator and Corsair. By the end of 2025, the smaller Louisville Assembly Plant will temporarily close for a retooling to bring to life a $2 billion investment that will create a new four-door midsize truck EV, ready for drivers by 2027, The Courier Journal previously reported.

Ford has led all automakers with recalls in 2025. As of Nov. 3, the automaker had amassed 134 recalls for the year, according to data collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The automaker with the next most recalls reported is Chrysler with 43.
