Recent Recall Sparks Concern
Jeep has issued a recall for over 154,000 of its plug-in hybrid models, the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe, due to a potential fire risk. This recall highlights a serious safety concern that has prompted owners to act immediately.
The Problem
The issue lies within the high-voltage battery, which could fail internally and lead to a fire. This dangerous situation can occur while the vehicle is parked or in motion.
What Should Owners Do?
If you own an affected Jeep 4xe model, it’s crucial to follow these guidelines:
- Park Outside: Avoid parking your vehicle in garages or enclosed spaces.
- Avoid Charging: Refrain from charging your vehicle until a fix is implemented.
- Monitor for Recall Notice: Keep an eye out for official recall notices from Jeep.

Jeep’s Response
Jeep is taking steps to address the issue and has advised owners to park their vehicles outdoors until a solution is found. The automaker is working on a software update or a battery pack replacement to rectify the problem.
The Jeep 4xe models were introduced as a step towards a greener future, combining Jeep’s off-road capabilities with electric power. However, this recall casts a shadow over the brand’s green initiatives.
It’s important to note that while this recall is a significant issue, it doesn’t necessarily reflect on Jeep vehicles’ overall reliability. However, it serves as a reminder that even the most advanced technology can have unforeseen problems.
