Recall due to potential loss of drive power
More than 90,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid SUVs, manufactured between 2022 and 2026, have been recalled following the detection of a software issue that could cause a sudden loss of drive power. The recall was officially filed by Chrysler with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects a total of 91,787 vehicles. According to the safety report, the issue originates in the hybrid control processor, which may unexpectedly cut propulsion, increasing the likelihood of a crash.

As of August 18, no accidents or injuries had been reported in connection with this defect. Chrysler stated that a remedy for the problem is currently under development. Notification letters will be sent to affected owners beginning October 23.
Starting September 11, owners will be able to check whether their vehicle is included in the recall by entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA website. Chrysler has also made its customer service line available at 1-800-853-1403 for further information.
Previous recalls involving Grand Cherokee models
This recall follows previous actions involving the same vehicle line. In 2023, more than 330,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees were recalled due to a steering issue that could cause drivers to lose control.
