Stellantis Recalls 92,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees Over Drive Power Risk

Stellantis is recalling 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid vehicles from model years 2022 to 2026 due to a software defect in the hybrid control processor that can cause a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. The defect stems from the battery pack control module's microprocessor becoming overloaded and resetting, which may lead the hybrid control processor to incorrectly interpret signals and cause a complete loss of propulsion without warning. Although the company has received numerous complaints and service records related to the issue, there have been no reported accidents or injuries so far. A fix for the software problem is still under development, and owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by October 23, 2025, with vehicle identification numbers searchable on the NHTSA website starting September 11. Owners are advised to contact Stellantis customer service or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for more information. The recall highlights ongoing safety concerns with hybrid vehicle software systems and the challenges in promptly resolving such defects.
