Chrysler Jeep Battery Fire Recall
Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 8:19AM More than 375,000 Jeep plug-in hybrids are being recalled over a battery fire risk, including nearly 21,000 vehicles in Canada.
The Canadian recall impacts Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid models from 2022 to 2025 and Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrids from 2021 to 2025
The batteries were manufactured by Samsung SDI America, based in Auburn Hills, Mich.
Owners of the vehicles — which include certain Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles with model years between 2020-2025 and some Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs with model years from 2022-2026 — are being advised to park the vehicles outside and away from structures until a remedy for the problem is determined.
Vehicle owners should also avoid charging the vehicles because the risk is reduced when the battery is depleted, according to the company.
The number for the recall is 68C and owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Owners can also check Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database.
