Chrysler is recalling 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid SUVs from model years 2022 through 2026 after a safety issue was discovered that could cause the vehicle to suddenly lose power. This recall comes shortly after Stellantis recalled 219,000 Ram and Dodge models. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the defect may “cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.” Fortunately, no crashes or injuries have been reported so far.
Cause of the Problem

The issue lies within the Battery Pack Control Module (BPCM). In certain situations, the BPCM’s microprocessor can become overloaded and reset. When this happens, the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) may misinterpret the reset signal, which NHTSA says could result in “a loss of propulsion.” In other words, the Grand Cherokee 4xe could unexpectedly lose drive power while moving, which is especially dangerous at highway speeds.

According to the official NHTSA Safety Recall Report, FCA US – the Stellantis-owned parent company of Chrysler – is aware of 96 customer assistance records, 110 field reports, and 320 service records potentially tied to this defect as of August 18, 2025. Nearly 92,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe models are covered, spanning model years 2022 through 2026. Dealers will be notified on September 11, 2025, with official owner notifications scheduled to begin on October 23. It also follows headlines where a more than 100,000 Ford Rangers, and countless Toyota and Lexus models were recalled earlier the month.
What Owners Need to Know

At the time of writing this article, Chrysler has yet to release their fix, with the report stating the remedy is “under development”. That said, it’s safe to assume a software fix should mitigate this issue. Until then, owners of affected vehicles are advised to stay alert for recall updates. Starting September 11, 2025, customers will be able to check their VIN on NHTSA’s recall website to see if their SUV is impacted.
