Chrysler is recalling more than 320,000 Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees in the United States due to a fire risk from defective high-voltage batteries, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall affects Jeep Wrangler 4Xe models (2020–2025) and Grand Cherokee 4Xe models (2022–2026). Owners have been instructed to park their vehicles outdoors, away from buildings, and avoid charging them until repairs are made.

Chrysler, owned by Stellantis, said it has received 19 reports of battery-related fires and one injury linked to the issue. Around 5% of recalled vehicles are believed to have the defect. The company said a remedy is under development, and notification letters will be mailed starting December 2.

The NHTSA said the faulty battery cells could overheat and ignite, whether the vehicles are parked or driven. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403, reference recall 68C.
