The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is 1 of the very best-promoting plug-in hybrids in America, but that status could go up in smoke as the automaker is recalling thousands of SUVs more than a fire threat.

The automaker is not saying considerably at this point, but a overview of client information led to an internal investigation that found eight automobile fires. All of the impacted models had been parked and turned off, whilst six had been connected to chargers.

That’s certainly alarming, so the automaker is recalling 32,125 Wranglers in the United States, three,856 in Canada, and an further 9,249 elsewhere. That’s a total of 45,230 units and the business noted the numbers are merely estimates at this point.

The recall impacts Wrangler 4xe SUVs from the 2021-2024 model years and the business has currently created a remedy that entails a “software flash.” However, the automaker stated that “If a certain error code is observed, the battery pack will be replaced.” That’s a large ordeal, but the business estimates only 1 % of autos have the defect.

The recall comes at a negative time as several owners are presumably traveling for Thanksgiving. However, the automaker stated driving shouldn’t be an problem. Instead, owners ought to “refrain from recharging” and park outdoors, away from structures and other autos.

Despite eight fires, Stellantis is not conscious of connected accidents or injuries. That’s very good news and hopefully the trend will continue.
