Chrysler is recalling more than 320,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicles due to the risk of fire.

According to a Nov. 4 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), owners of 2020 to 2025 Wrangler models and 2022 to 2026 Grand Cherokee models are being warned to park away from buildings and other vehicles due to the risk of fire while parked or driven.

Owners also are being cautioned not to charge unrepaired vehicle batteries because the risk of fire is higher in charged batteries.

This recall affects 228,221 Jeep Wrangler and 91,844 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid models.

To date, Chrysler is aware of 19 fires resulting from the battery pack, including nine vehicles that received the remedy software. The company is also aware of one injury related to the defect. Those vehicles affected may have a battery pack with cells that have separator damage, which could lead to a fire.

“A remedy is not yet available, and owners should continue to park outside and refrain from charging until a remedy is available and performed on their vehicle,” the NHTSA report indicated.

According to the report, Chrysler determined that the previous recall remedy was ineffective in detecting “certain abnormalities” in the battery that could lead to a fire. The company promised to notify owners by mail starting on December 2.

In the meantime, owners will be able to search the NHTSA vehicle identification numbers and license plates at the agency’s website beginning Nov. 6. They also can call the NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 or Chrysler’s customer service number at 800-853-1403. The NHTSA recall number is 25V-741.

Chrysler has had one other recall of 2025 vehicles so far this year, affecting more than 250,650 vehicles. The latest prior to the Jeep recalls involved Pacifica and Voyager vehicles with airbag defects.

Kelley Blue Book reported that the airbags may have insufficient pressure retention from improperly sealed seams. Airbags without sufficient pressure retention increase the risk of ejection and injury during a crash.

Last year, more than 26,770 models of the 2024 Pacifica vehicles were recalled due to the traction control system (TCS) that did not function when cruise control was activated. An inactive TCS could increase the risk of an accident.

Considering all of the recent recalls, the NHTSA is encouraging all vehicle owners to download the SaferCar app to receive vital recall information. Owners can add their vehicles to the app, scan in their vehicle identification number (VIN) and also add information about car seats, tires, and related equipment. Owners then will be notified when the app discovers a recall, and will receive an alert on a mobile device.

Consumers also have the option of filing a complaint with the NHTSA regarding safety issues with a vehicle, tire, car seat, or equipment. The NHTSA describes a safety defect as a problem that “poses a risk to motor vehicle safety,” such as a defective steering wheel or brakes.

Vehicle owners are being asked to submit any complaints online through the NHTSA website or by calling the Vehicle Safety Hotline, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m.
