Chrysler is recalling over 150,000 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Grand Cherokee hybrid electric vehicles over concerns about the vehicles catching on fire while parked or driven.

Over 150,000 Jeep electric vehicles are being recalled over concerns about the cars possibly catching on fire while being parked or driven. The recall, which was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Tuesday, affects 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEVs. The recall was initiated by Stellantis, which owns Chrysler and the Jeep brands.

Owners of the recalled vehicles are encouraged to visit their Chrysler dealers to update their vehicle's battery pack control module software. The NHTSA says that dealers can "also inspect and, if necessary, replace the high-voltage battery." Affected drivers will be notified by mail starting on Oct. 17, and are encouraged to call customer service at 800-853-1403. The NHTSA recall numbers are 24V-720 and 24E-080 for Wranglers and Grand Cherokees, respectively.
