RECALL: Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe For Potential Loss Of Drive Power

RECALL: Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe For Potential Loss Of Drive Power​

Almost 92,000 PHEVs Are Affected In This Latest Recall​

Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 91,787 units of its 2022 to 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) due to a software error within the hybrid control processor that may result in a loss of drive power. An unexpected loss of propulsion could cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

 
What the Oldsmobile 5.7 diesel V8 (LF9) did for the reputation of diesel power in consumers minds over 40 years ago, the Jeep 4Xe and Chrysler Pacifica PHEV models are doing for the reputation of plugin hybrid drives among today's consumers. A cheapskate CEO was decimating the engineering ranks when the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee PHEV option was introduced, but Stellantis is still culpable. There is absolutely no excuse for the Pacifica's problems. That hybrid system has been on the market for nearly a decade and they still have problems with it.

The legacy Chrysler Corporation brands had better figure out this electrification stuff pretty fast because Hemi power alone won't save Auburn Hills.
