Stellantis, who also owns Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, said Tuesday it is recalling 375,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs worldwide over battery failure after 19 reports of fires, and urged owners to park outdoors until a fix is completed.
The company said a recall remedy is imminent but, until then, owners should park away from structures and refrain from charging vehicles because of fire risks.
Samsung SDI has stated the most likely root cause is separator damage combined with other complex interactions within the battery cells.
