Stellantis, Jeep's parent company, has issued a safety recall for 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUVs from the 2022 through 2026 model years. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a software defect can cause a sudden and unexpected loss of drive power, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The automaker is currently developing a remedy for the issue. In the meantime, here is what owners of these popular SUVs need to know.
The Problem: What Grand Cherokee Owners Need to Know
The recall stems from a software issue within the vehicle's battery pack control module (BPCM). The module's microprocessor can become overloaded under certain conditions, causing it to reset.
When this reset occurs, the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) can misinterpret a signal from the BPCM, leading to a shutdown of the vehicle's drive power. This means the vehicle could suddenly stop accelerating while in motion. The defect is present in vehicles produced between July 23, 2021, and August 29, 2025.
Affected Models and How to Check Your Vehicle
This recall is specific to the plug-in hybrid version of the Grand Cherokee:
There are two key dates for owners to be aware of:
- Starting on September 11, 2025, owners can visit the NHTSA recalls website (nhtsa.gov/recalls) and enter their 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to confirm if their specific SUV is included in this recall.
- Official recall notification letters will be mailed to the owners of affected vehicles starting on October 23, 2025.
The Solution and Next Steps
Currently, a fix for this issue is still under development. Stellantis has not yet finalized the software update required to correct the problem.
Once the remedy is ready, owners will be instructed to bring their Grand Cherokee 4xe to an authorized Jeep dealership for the repair. The software update will be performed completely free of charge to the customer.
Stellantis has stated that, to date, there have been no accidents or injuries reported as a result of this software defect. Owners are encouraged to check the NHTSA website for updates and to be on the lookout for the official recall notice in the mail in late October, which will provide further instructions.
