At the end of 2025, Stellantis announced a recall of more than 320,000 hybrid Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe SUVs. The issue involves the high-voltage battery, which under certain conditions may pose a fire risk. Internally, the campaign is listed as 68C.

As part of the service program, technicians will connect the vehicle to a charger and update the battery control unit’s software. The process takes several hours, followed by a short test drive. In some cases, a software update may not be enough, and a full replacement of the traction battery will be required. All work is performed free of charge as a safety-related campaign, and customers receive loaner vehicles for the duration of the repair.

The recall touches one of the brand’s core nameplates and highlights the challenges facing top-tier 2026 SUVs with hybrid powertrains. It’s a telling reminder that even flagship off-roaders aren’t immune to the complexities of electrification, and timely factory support can be just as critical as rugged hardware.
