Jeep Recalls 24,238 Wrangler 4xe Plug-In Hybrids Over OTA Update That Can Cut Propulsion

The automaker blamed an October over-the-air update that disrupted communication between key modules.

Overview

  • Dealers were notified on Oct. 23, with owner recall letters expected to mail around Nov. 25.
  • An intermittent fault between the Telematics Box Module and Hybrid Control Processor can shut down propulsion without warning, with some owners reporting limp mode or bricked vehicles.
  • Stellantis implemented an interim backend policy update to reduce power-loss risk as it develops a permanent software remedy.
  • The U.S. recall covers 2023–2025 Wrangler 4xe PHEVs, and about 1,707 additional vehicles will be recalled in Canada.
  • The company reports no known accidents or injuries; the NHTSA campaign number is 25V710 and Chrysler’s internal recall ID is A7C.
