Jeep Wrangler 4xe SUVs are the latest vehicles recalled by Stellantis, owner of Chrysler, Dodge and other carmakers including Jeep.
Just last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued multiple recalls including more than 300,000 Honda vehicles for front seat belt problems.
Stellantis is recalling 32,125 of its 2021-2024 hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe SUVs because of a fire risk. Stellantis completed an internal investigation from a company review of customer data that found that eight Jeep Wrangler SUVs caught fire while parked and turned off, according to a news release by the automaker.
Stellantis shared in a statement, “The vehicles may be driven. However, the company is advising owners to refrain from recharging these hybrid vehicles, and to park them away from structures and other vehicles, until they are remedied,” as reported by Consumer Reports.
So far the automaker identified eight fires with parked vehicles. The Wrangler 4xe was connected to electric chargers in six of the eight cases.
To contact the manufacturer, owners can call Jeep at 800-853-1403. To see if your vehicle is affected by the recall, owners can search the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's recall site. Vehicle owners can also report a safety problem with the NHTSA.

Here are the vehicle recalls published by the NHTSA from Nov. 18 to Nov. 29.
Stellantis will perform a software flash on vehicles. If they find an error code consistent with what they are looking for, they will replace the battery pack, says Stellantis.
Stellantis will contact owners who this recall affects.
