Late-model Jeep Wranglers await purchase at a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership.

More than 320,000 Jeep vehicles are being recalled after at least one person suffered injuries during a vehicle fire.

Michigan-based Stellantis is recalling certain Jeep vehicles across two different models over concerns that the high voltage battery in some vehicles can fail and spark a fire, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported.

"In rare circumstances, a battery pack may contain cells with separator damage. Separator damage, combined with other complex interactions within the cells, may lead to a vehicle fire," reads the NHTSA recall report.

The latest recall expands on a previous recall issued in 2024. Stellantis determined that the software update issued as part of the 2024 recall was not effective in detecting abnormalities that could spark a fire, according to the NHTSA.

As of mid-October, the NHTSA said the carmaker was aware of nine fires originating from vehicles that received remedy software in last year's recall. An additional 10 fires were reported in vehicles outside the scope of the 2024 recall.

Impacted Jeep owners are advised to park outside and away from structures and not to charge their vehicles until a new remedy is completed, the NHTSA announced Nov. 4.

Here's what to know about the recall.

What Jeeps are being recalled?

Certain vehicles in the following Jeep models and model years are impacted by the recall.

  • Grand Cherokee (2022-2026): 91,844 vehicles
  • Wrangler (2020-2025): 228,221 vehicles

Starting Thursday, Nov. 6, owners will be able to search their vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA website to see if their car is included.

What should I do if my Jeep is recalled?

Owners are urged to park the affected SUVs "outside and away from structures and other vehicles until their vehicle has been remedied," the NHTSA said.

In addition, the agency wrote, owners should not charge unrepaired vehicle batteries "because the risk of fire is higher in a charged battery than when the battery is depleted."

A remedy is not yet available and "is currently under development," the NHTSA reported. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected product free of charge if necessary.

Notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners by Dec. 2.

Vehicles previously recalled for the same issue under NHTSA Recalls 24V720 and 23V787 will need to have the new remedy performed.
