Stellantis recalls 320k Jeep plug-in hybrids over battery fire risk

Stellantis is recalling 320,065 Jeep plug‑in hybrid vehicles in the United States after federal safety regulators said a high‑voltage battery can fail and pose a fire risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that owners should park the affected vehicles outside and away from buildings and should not charge them until a remedy is available.

The recall covers 228,221 Jeep Wranglers from model years 2020 through 2025 and 91,844 Jeep Grand Cherokees from model years 2022 through 2026. NHTSA said the company has received 19 reports of battery problems and one injury potentially related to the issue. The batteries were manufactured by Samsung SDI America, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

NHTSA assigned the recall number 68C. Interim notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners by December 2, 2025, and Vehicle Identification Numbers for the recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning November 6, 2025. Stellantis said technicians will inspect and repair affected vehicles; the final remedy and repair timeline will be disclosed in the agency’s official filing.
