Stellantis Recalls 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEVs for Software Fault That Can Cut Power

Regulators say a battery‑pack controller reset can interrupt propulsion, with a software remedy still in development.

Overview

  • The action targets 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee plug‑in hybrids over a Battery Pack Control Module microprocessor overload that can reset and prompt the Hybrid Control Processor to misread signals.
  • NHTSA estimates about 1% of the recalled vehicles may actually exhibit the defect.
  • Dealer notifications are scheduled for Sept. 11, affected VINs will be searchable on NHTSA’s site starting that day, and owner letters are slated for Oct. 23.
  • Stellantis reports no known crashes or injuries, though FCA logged 96 customer complaints, 110 field reports and 320 service records as of Aug. 18.
  • Similar Jeep vehicles not included in the action either do not use a hybrid control processor or were built outside the affected timeframe.
