Chrysler is recalling 13,722 model-year 2022-2023 Jeep Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV) vehicles. The high voltage (HV) battery pack assembly was built with incorrect fasteners to secure the 200-amp fuse. The wrong fastener can generate excessive heat and potentially cause the fuse to fail. As a result, the driver may experience a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 2, 2022. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will inspect the vehicles for incorrect fasteners, and the fuse assembly will be replaced, as necessary. Dealers will also inspect the battery pack assembly for damage and replace it, if necessary.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
