Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) has issued a safety recall affecting 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) from model years 2022–2026 due to a software defect that can cause the vehicle to unexpectedly lose propulsion.
According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue stems from the Battery Pack Control Module (BPCM). Under certain conditions, the BPCM may reset, and the vehicle’s Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) can misinterpret signals during that reset, triggering a sudden loss of propulsion.
Chrysler warns that this unexpected shutdown poses a significant crash risk without prior warning.
The affected vehicles were built between July 23, 2021, and August 29, 2025 at Chrysler’s assembly facilities. The defect impacts only vehicles built with suspect HCP software during that timeframe.
As of August 18, 2025, Chrysler has received 96 customer assistance records, 110 field reports, and 320 service records potentially related to the problem. The company says no crashes or injuries have been linked to the defect.
The automaker opened its own investigation in June 2025, following a request from NHTSA. By August 28, 2025, Chrysler determined a safety defect existed and approved the recall.
The recall is filed under NHTSA Campaign Number 25V576 and Chrysler recall reference 73C. Owners of affected Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEVs will be notified, and repairs will be made at no cost.
