The specific cause of the issue has yet to be revealed, including the source of the potential fire risk. However, the proposed remedy involves a software flash, and if a specific error code is detected, the battery pack will be replaced.
While the vehicles remain drivable, Stellantis urges owners to refrain from recharging the hybrid SUVs and to park them away from structures and other vehicles until the necessary remedial actions are taken.
Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified when they can schedule service appointments to address the issue. Stellantis estimates that only 1% of the affected vehicles may have the identified defect. Still, if you own one, we suggest contacting your dealer immediately for the next course of action.
