“Jeep’s owner, Stellantis, has recalled about 194,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs from the brand due to a risk of fire. The recall impacts specific Jeep Wrangler 4xe models from 2020 to 2024 and some Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs from 2022 to 2024 — the company estimates about five percent of the vehicles will have the defect. It discovered the issue after 13 fires were reported, all when the vehicle was parked and off. Despite the risk, Stellantis is not yet having customers bring their hybrids in for servicing. Instead, the company claims a ‘remedy is imminent,’ and owners will get notified when they can come in.” (10/01/24)
