Chrysler (FCA US, LLC): Jeep Wrangler 4xe Recalled for Engine Shutdown Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 62,909 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles from model years 2021 through 2023 equipped with 2.0L Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle engines. A software communication error between internal control modules can cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly while driving, resulting in a sudden loss of motive power. Dealers will provide a free software update to the transmission and hybrid control modules to ensure the vehicle enters a 'limp home' safety mode rather than shutting down completely if a communication loss occurs.

Risk

A sudden engine shutdown while the vehicle is in motion causes an immediate loss of drive power, which significantly increases the risk of a crash, especially at high speeds or in heavy traffic.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is affected by looking for a 2021-2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe equipped with the 2.0L Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) engine.
  2. Contact an authorized Jeep dealer to schedule a free service appointment to update the calibration software in the Transmission Control Module, Hybrid Control Processor, and Auxiliary Hybrid Control Processor.
  3. If you have questions about this recall (FCA reference number ZB7), contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
  4. For additional information, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
