Thousands of Jeep Plug-in Hybrids May Unexpectedly Experience Power Loss While in Motion | Carscoops
Chrysler is issuing a recall for minivans due to defective side curtain airbags.
Stellantis is recalling 92,772 vehicles in the U.S. related to two distinct issues.
Thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrids may experience a loss of drive power.
Additionally, several Pacifica and Voyager minivans may contain faulty side curtain airbags.
Stellantis has initiated two recalls affecting nearly 100,000 vehicles. The problems vary, involving both airbag defects and loss of drive power.
In the first case, Jeep is recalling 91,787 Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrids from the 2022-2026 model years due to a software glitch that can lead to propulsion loss.
According to government reports, the SUVs might encounter an overload of the Battery Pack Control Module microprocessor, leading to a reset. During some resets, the Hybrid Control Processor may incorrectly read a signal from the Battery Pack Control Module, possibly resulting in a loss of drive power.
The automaker has logged 96 customer assistance records, 110 field reports, and 320 additional records possibly connected to the issue, although no accidents or injuries have been reported. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution available.
Airbag Concerns in Minivans
The second recall pertains to 985 Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager minivans from the 2025 model year, which have side curtain airbags that are not properly sealed. This could lead to insufficient pressure retention during deployment.
The issue was identified this summer during an ejection mitigation test on a 2025 Pacifica, which did not meet the excursion limit requirement, prompting an investigation.
This investigation revealed a manufacturing issue with the supplier, and the problem will be rectified by replacing the side curtain airbags with properly sealed ones.
